It would be interesting to make a proposal to the community that the
whitelist is dropped for some demonstrably good uploaders. I would have to
think about the case for dropping it all together, as GWT rights are often
granted to uploaders with virtually no long term history on Wikimedia
projects. In fact one feature of GWT is that it can be used by GLAM
professionals with no previous project experience, in particular may find
unexpected difficulties in handling community contention over their uploads.

no need to
whitelist domains. We assume good faith, unlikely that a GWT user uploads
tons of copyvios.
Users have to apply for the right and then they have to whitelist the
domain, too complicated.
For example
https://tools.wmflabs.org/url2commons/ has no restriction at
all (as far i know), at least not a domain whitelist.
