It does no verification at all abeout the relationship
{Real Life Person} <=3D=3D> {Key Owner}
But this is what signatures usually express.
The robot only may say:
"I don't know anything about the person, I have only checked a small piece

IMHO knowing nothing about the a key owner but the validity of his mail
address is a typical case of dealing with a "pseudonymous user".

Signings your bot gives today can't easyly be redone tomorrow.
