A lot of people on de.wp are against Commons because of logos and old 
pictures without authors. Since we want to keep them, I don't see a way to 
achieve keeping them and having Commons only.

My additional wish would be a way to contact one time contributers. There 
are several ways to achieve this:
* Creating a field "home wiki" on the resistration form.
* Making email adresses mandatory & auto activate email notification

Another one would be a way to notify people of mass deletion requests. There 
are people who often place general DRs for whole categories and nobody is 
notified. Maybe we could improve CommonsTicker?
