For some reason when the MediaWiki message delivery account was taken over on meta, it did not give itself a bot flag.
I was able to trigger a password reset, which means the account was not taken over at all.
Change 97117 had a related patch set uploaded by Legoktm: If a user has a temporary password set, still take over the account https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/97117
I had created the account via email so it had a temporary password, but never a real one, so $user->mPassword was null, meaning the extension thought it had been taken over. Patch makes it so that we check for $user->mNewpassword too.
Change 97117 merged by jenkins-bot: If a user has a temporary password set, still take over the account https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/97117
Whenever this is deployed the meta account will get properly taken over.
