Works bot

Hi list,

I would like to write a bot for musicbrainz that automatically links
recordings to works.
When I add a work to musicbrainz I try and add all the existing recordings
to the work.
This can take time and you cannot keep track of all new recordings that are
added to the database.

What the bot would do is:
1. look through the database for works
2. Look at all the recordings linked to that work and get the Name and list
of artists on the recording
3. Find recordings with the exact same name and list of artist and see if
they already have a recording to work relationship
4. submit an edit to add the recording to work relationship with the same
flags as the reference recording ie cover, live

Rate limiting:
it should not look at works with open edits or are younger than 7 days.
It should not look at recordings with any open edits or are younger than  7
days.
It should see if any of the releases that a recording is linked to has open
edits or is younger than 7 days.
it should not submit too many edits at one time.


Currently this is in the idea stage with no code written yet.
All feedback welcome.

Regards,

Daniel
