There is consensus shown at the URL for this bug report that there is consensus to give w:en:User:ClueBot access to rollback. This could be done by creating either a rollback group, or an AVBot group and assigning ClueBot to that group.
This should wait until the API branch stuff is merged. It should be using an API revert with a summary that can be send via url parameters. An 'apirollback' right for an 'AVbot' group sounds OK. Still, it would require a steward or 'userrights' interface access unless some UI was made.

And ClueBot already has to interface with index.php for editing.

It would be much more efficent from a development and time of stewards\sysadmins perspective to code rollback in your back - which would not be too difficult.

There does not appear to be a clear consensus on enwiki for enabling a rollback-only group nor for giving the bot rollback through any other means. Marking as INVALID until a consensus can be found.
