Function details: This bot, every 5 minutes, will scan WP:AIV for the category Category:Administrative backlog, and if it is on the page, will read the block log from an API query. The sysop who performed the most recent entry in the block log will be given a template message on their talk page politely asking them if they would mind clearing that backlog.
