schickling[m]: the best precedents to look at are probably these importers/'seeders': https://wiki.musicbrainz.org/Guides/Userscripts...

We don't allow full automation - e.g. a human has to press the 'submit' button - so seeding is the way to go

Here's an example of an external website rather than a userscript: https://atisket.pulsewidth.org.uk/

<aerozol> "We don't allow full automation -..." <- I see. Thanks for clarifying!

Are there some ideas/efforts (beyond seeding) to facilitate contributions in a more semi-automated way?

<aerozol> "Here's an example of an external..." <- Very cool. Just gave it a try here. Worked pretty well. Only had to select the Label manually. (The strings matched, so maybe even that could be "fixed" so one less manual interaction - just a suggestion)

<aerozol> "Here's an example of an external..." <- is there a similar "seeding flow" but for updating/filling in missing fields for existing items?

schickling[m]: hmm, not sure... I haven't used one. Maybe someone else knows one.
