If an article being edited by AWB has a direct use of a stub category (such as here; a stub category is any category ending with the word "stubs"), then the category should be replaced with a stub tag; finding the appropriate stub tag is relatively easy - in the category, there is a {{Stub Category}} template or a {{Stub category}} template, where the stub category is givenas the parameter called "newstub". @Od Mishehu

I also think that {{Stubs}}->{{stub}} should be hard coded into the software.

Any estimate of how many pages have this mistake at the moment?

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Database reports/Stubs included directly in stub categories - the most recent list has 1438, the recent lists were 1601, 1668 and 1740 respectively. (Note that the 13 October list doesn't count, due to the Darius Dhlomo copyvio problem; such pages were removed from subsequent reports.) This report isn't quite complete - some times, a page will have both a stub tag and a direct use of a stub category (such as this revision), and those won't be listed there.

Thanks, but we can't fix more than the "Stubs" one and this report includes subcategories too.

Magio since I haven't yet looked at this let's not draw any early conclusions about what is feasible.

I have never seen the code for AWB, but given that AWB has the functionality for parsing page code, and for looking for specific parameters, I would imagine that it's not too hard.

The previous comments don't explain what/who exactly this task is stalled on ("If a report is waiting for further input (e.g. from its reporter or a third party) and can currently not be acted on"). Hence resetting task status.
