I can't help with the root problem, but this may be a good time to make the switch to Tool Labs which would solve the issue indirectly.

Since Bryan seems to be unreachable/unresponsive, I'd like to make a request
for someone with shell access to change the e-mailaddress of
User:CommonsDelinker from the gmail address to delinker@toolserver.org.

Why not just do it yourself? You've got shell access which can give you both SQL and mw environment access to mediawiki to change this...

No, not even close. The bot accesses the wiki, we're locked out of the wiki account. Hosting the software elsewhere isn't going to change that.

I know, but I didn't know how we feel about making these changes directly to the database without record or permission. I can do it myself, sure. And once I know that it is okay to do so, I will (if someone else doesn't do it first).

You can always just !log it
