A good idea, I'll make a mandatory account name for synchronization. 
Probably should work, however is there any way to disable "interactive" 
edits for some particular account while allowing it to use Import / 
Export and API in general? I'll check whether denying 'edit' action for 
synchronization account still would allow to perform "automatic" import. 
Otherwise, one can only hope that synchronization bot account will not 
be misused for ordinary edits (which should not be skipped from 
synchronization). Anyway, I can provide such warning at the extension 
page, at least.
