Description

There should be some sort of CLI for managing bot passwords so that testing scenarios (I'm working on git-mediawiki) can use it easily.

Something like:

$ php maintenance/botPasswords.php --create=mabs --owner=MarkAHershberger
Creating MarkAHershberger@mabs; all rights; unlimited access
Password is: TWFya0FIZXJzaGJlcmdlckBtYWJz
$ php maintenance/botPasswords.php --create=MarkAHershberger@mabs --rights=edit,createuser --cidr=1.1.1.1/32
Creating MarkAHershberger@mabs; rights: edit and createuser; CIDR access: 1.1.1.1/32
Password is: TWFya0FIZXJzaGJlcmdlckBtYWJz
$ php maintenance/botPasswords.php --list --owner=MarkAHershberger
MarkAHershberger@mabs; rights: edit and createuser; CIDR access: 1.1.1.1/32
$ php maintenance/botPasswords.php --delete=mabs --owner=MarkAHershberger
MarkAHershberger@mabs deleted.
$ php maintenance/botPasswords.php --delete=MarkAHershberger@mabs
MarkAHershberger@mabs deleted.
$ php maintenance/botPasswords.php --create=BogusUser@mabs --rights=edit,createuser --cidr=1.1.1.1/32
No such user: BogusUser
$ php maintenance/botPasswords.php --create=MarkAHershberger@mabs --rights=bogusright,createuser --cidr=1.1.1.1/32
No such right: bogusright
$ php maintenance/botPasswords.php --create=MarkAHershberger@mabs --rights=bogusright,createuser --cidr=1.1.1.1/77
Couldn't parse CIDR: 1.1.1.1/77
