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.

How hard could that be? Create a field in the log in page saying ''I ussually contribute to project x'', preferably this could be done semi-automatically via referrer headers or wikipedia linking with a url like http://common.wikimedia.org/wiki/special:userlogin?from=en.wikipedia . The thing gets automatically filled out, and the user can change it if he wants. Then when he creates an account, his user page has a template on it automatically that says, "so and so is usually at foo, leave a message both here and there". Then if orphanbot [or whatever you call your bots that send messages] comes a long, sees it, and leaves a message at both commons and the local wiki.
Easy, but it'd involve a change in db fields.
Not necessary. We could create a link to a userpage that includes a template, the username and project the way we do it at the deletion requests ...
