Copyright Ownership with Bot-contributed code (translations)

[jeefy]

In another thread there is discussion around "installing" a bot to help with translations in a project's documentation. However, some major questions have come up.

If a Bot submits a pull request with a translation, who owns the copyright?

• The bot?
• The owner(s) of the bot?
• The person(s) who installed/configured the bot?
• The person(s) who wrote the original documentation?
• Or the person(s) who approves/merges the PR?

How does this change given a repository's LICENSE? (Mainly thinking CC4.0 vs Apache 2.0)
