I have a report page that lists user pages sorted by the number of fair-use images.  (it might take
a while to load)

    http://tools.wikimedia.de/~interiot/cgi-bin/queries/en_fairusers

A synopsis:

    241 [[User:HeraldicBot/Gallery]]
    229 [[User:Gram123]]
    226 [[User:CyberSkull/Images/Icons]]
    208 [[User:Cburnett/Images]]
    181 [[User:CyberSkull/Images]]
    176 [[User:WolfenSilva]]
    143 [[User:YUL89YYZ/images/DVD_covers]]
    119 [[User:Palm_dogg/Images]]
    116 [[User:Electionworld/worldwide]]
    112 [[User:Johan_Elisson/football_badges]]
    107 [[User:Dlloyd]]
    100 [[User:Cyde/template_check]]

Most of them are "a list of everything I'm uploaded".  It's fantastic that they've uploaded so many
images, but it would be still better if all fair-use [[Image:...]] were turned into [[:Image:...]]
links.  Do these look like the sort of things that should be changed by a bot?  Given how helpful
these users have been, I would be more in favor of discussing it on their talk pages first.

        (for what it's worth, I'm counting any image on en.wikipedia.org that's under
        Category:Fair_use_images, which contains 112 subcategories.  I think that's the slow part
        though)
