As 3.0.x is no longer supported, I doubt anyone would want to make an up to date script. This post (with the script) was last updated in 2012 viewtopic.php?p=12119145#p12119145
You should also seriously consider upgrading to phpBB 3.2.x

Check the manage_bots code.

Would it be the right choice to change their default group to the bad bot group after they are added, or would it make more sense to remove them from the bot group?
You could certainly make the default group "Bad Bots". I don't know about removing them from the Bots group, though. I presume that wouldn't break their bot status, but I don't see a good reason to do it -- they are still bots, after all.

Thank you so much for this great tool. I love it so much. Could we get an updated manage_bots.php for 2018? Including DuckDuckGo etc?

How about to add the e-mail address to the default 50 bots we have in the database?
The problem here is that you'll need the 50 mailaddresses first .
Spelling is freeware, which means you can use it for free.
On the other hand, it is not open source, which means you cannot change it or publish it in a modified form.

I am afraid it has not been updated in years. I only hosted it as a service for everyone. If anyone would like to actively support it, please contact me.
Many years ago I also thought about filling in the e-mail addresses: the profile field was there, so why not using it when the information is available? But since then there was not even one occurance where contacting the crawler support was needed (no, never mass-e-mailing, just looking up the address). And those crawlers I sent e-mailed to proved to never answer, let alone change their erratic software.
