I don't follow what you're saying about a bot account being the only alternative. You can use the exact same user interface exposure (i.e., little "(thanks)" links) and simply post to the IP's talk page rather than creating an Echo (logged-in user) notification. I can't see any need for a separate bot account.
Yeah, we could do that (using the edit API). However, that still leaves the issue of a totally separate user experience (one goes in your contributions, one doesn't; different for the recipient), depending on what kind of user the recipient is.
