This user account is a bot operated by Gigs (talk). It is used to make repetitive automated or semi-automated edits that would be extremely tedious to do manually, in accordance with the bot policy.
Administrators: if this bot is malfunctioning or causing harm, please block it.

This is a bot to implement email notification of Inactive administrators per the discussion at Wikipedia talk:Requests for adminship/Inactive admin email.

It will email the contents of: Wikipedia:Requests_for_adminship/Inactive_admin_email to 300 or so inactive accounts with administrator access, asking them to release their sysop bit voluntarily by posting to Wikipedia:Resign or meta:SRP#Removal_of_access.

The reasons for this project are:

To implement the security best practice of removing of elevated privileges that are no longer required
To help gather statistics to improve the quality of any future community discussions regarding possible involuntary inactivity removal of privileges
To encourage inactive admins to return to activity
