After code update, projects with FlaggedRevs has quite big problem... edits made by bots do not be marked automaticly as sighted.
Special treatment of bots was apparently removed from the code in r48482: r1=48481&r2=48482">http://svn.wikimedia.org/viewvc/mediawiki/trunk/extensions/FlaggedRevs/FlaggedRevs.hooks.php?view=diff&r1=48481&r2=48482
checkAutoPromote() should do this already
In any case, I can confirm that bot edits are not autosighted. See for example [[hu:Special:Contributions/TXiKiBoT]] (which had bot flag on hu.wp for years): most of the lines without background color are edits where the bot edited a sighted page, and turned it into a draft.

Is this still occuring?
Yes (at least on huwiki).

Setting prio to high, this needs fixing ASAP. Bots are causing thousands of pages to become unsighted on dewiki. We also have to many bots to either give them all editor rights or block them.
Tim added to local conf "$wgGroupPermissions['bot']['review'] = true;" and now it works (previously was "$wgGroupPermissions['bot']['autoreview'] = true;" and it didn't work).

Yea, I asked him to do this as a quick workaround, because the problem was really getting serious, at least on dewiki. Obviously, this is not a solution, but it shows rather clearly that the problem has something to do with the fact that the "autoreview" feature is broken. A fix is being worked on.
Fixed in r52003
Live now, removed review permission workaround.
