code: The developer assigned to the request writes the script.
test: The developer assigned to the request tested their script on the target wiki.
botflag-request: The bot flag for LinguaLibreBot has been requested on the target wiki, either after the tests ran by the developer, or before (in the event that the target wiki requires the intervention of stewarts).
pr-created: The developer creates the pull request on GitHub.
botflag-ok: The bot flag for LinguaLibreBot is granted.
pr-merged: Once the code is tested and the bot flag is applied, the botmaster merges the pull request.
