"* En.wp users can't keep an eye on their images once they're moved to Commons - they are not on their watchlist." I'm planning a "notify-me-of-(pending)-deletions-on-my-home-wiki" opt-in system. This should at least solve part of the problem. Don't expect it too soon though.
I asked Duesentrieb to integrate {{notify me}} (http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:Notify_me) in CommonsTicker, but he doesn't have the time to do it. Maybe you could help him ...
I am not sure that would help, because I am pretty sure CT only looks at the uploader, doesn't try to figure out from the text who the author actually is. So for transwikied images I don't see that this would solve the problem talked about.
Maybe it would be interesting to have a tool to track pages in the image: namespace that linked to a Wikimedian's user page elsewhere. Not everyone links the name, so it wouldn't be foolproof.
I tried to use http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Linksearch for this but evidently it only indexes [external style links] not [[w:interwiki links]].
