If you click on a bot, it'll show its owner. If you click on the name, it shows a profile. It would be quite convenient to have a button in the profile to DM the owner instead of having to search for the name manually.

Can you post a screenshot of the UI in question?

Sure!

Clicking on a bot:

If you click on the name, it opens the owner's profile:

It would be nice to have a way to DM a user in one of those dialogues, for example like this:

For example, this is helpful when a bot malfunctions and you want to contact the owner.

The bug here is that we're showing the wrong type of profile; #15574 will fix this. @sahil839 FYI to confirm.

Yes #15574 will fix this. I have attached a GIF for this in the PR itself for feedback.
