After this proposal I don't see any reason why it or a better approach is not in place, so I am left to think that SE does not see 3rd party automation tools / gilsellers as an issue, which is surprisingly sad.

Finally, If this is of any use for SE I am happy to help develop / expand the next steps.

PD: @ Moderators or SE employees, if there is a better forum to move this thread, please feel free to move it there.
