This should be a per-user configurable list.  Some people might want to receive
notifications when a certain bot uses their name.  For example, I would like to
know what pages HostBot uses my name on.
I also think it would be useful for people to know when sinebot signs for them
(unless they've opted out), but the people on who's page sinebot is signing
should not be notified of a new message on their talk page every time sinebot
signs for someone.
I can understand the concern with pages as well for things like SPI and ANI,
but am curious how someone knowing they are being investigated could affect the
investigation.  I mean, either it will be a hint that they need to shape up and
apologize and if they really do mean well, they will do that.  If it is an SPI
investigation for someone that only means to do harm, then seeing they are
being investigated won't make them do less harm (although it might make them
change IPs causing them to be harder to track).
