program author?

It is more likely to be granted if you can convince them that you are the author; but by no means certain. I don't know what the guidelines are. As an admin myself, I ought to know. I shall try to find out.

Anyone can run a bot on KGS, the only obstacles are the small amount of
technical competence required to get it and kgsGtp running and
connected, and the need for an internet-connected platform to run it on.
The bot can be one that they have written, downloaded, or stolen, KGS
won't know nor care.

Running a _rated_ bot on KGS is another matter.  This requires active
intervention by an admin, which is unlikely to be granted.  While your
bot is unrated, it won't be able to play any rated games, and won't
acquire a rating.
