Yes, they exist.  But to create and maintain a bot, and then teaching people
to use it, and giving permissions to post to given lists of people?  It's a
complex structure that does not currently exist and would be *more* work to
administer by hand.

My point remains.  The lists that exist on the wiki now, detract from
volunteering and currently provide no benefit as currently used.
