We already have an option for bots; they need to be registered as such
and can then be hidden in RC. Other users should IMHO not be hidden.

And more importantly still, we need the "show bots" option to be clearly
visible! The RC options need to be reconstructed.

Although it would be very nice to have a 'watch this user' to
_highlight_ edits by certain users.

(And it might be nice to have a 'try to ignore this user' -- gray out
their edits so they are distinguishable as a separate category, but not
leaping out to the eye as something to look at. You still want them to
be listed just in case a) you forget! or b) they try to pull a fast one
and edit something you would want to know about.)

I deeply wonder why you choose these two pseudos...

Do you want to hide Pour certains, pour d'autres edits
maybe ? :-)
