 This sound very illogical to me: an API edit is not made by a bot unless the
client says so.

It should be: a client's edit is a bot edit if the editing user has a bit flag,
unless that client specifically indicates its edit should NOT be marked as a
bot edit. This should be consistent behaviour in all interfaces.
