Since the erfgoed database is going down, I guess erfgoedbotis will no
longer be here anymore. Or maybe could it work with Wikidata ? Since
Maarten don't want invest time anymore, I guess a new bot is needed.

Same thing goes for a lot of other tools like tools.wmflabs.org/wlm-maps

Meanwhile, there is Wikidata tools that can be esaly use for similar
purposes (onsite there is the constraints reports and Autolist can generate
list too).
