Theoretically, one could write a bot which could do the deletions, so no admins get scolded. The idea of a deletion-bot with admin rights (a virtual equivalent of [2];-) might sound scary, but setting it for "no edits for a month since addition of the template", combined with the image resurrection capability, should calm this.
If someone runs such bot, please don't delete more that, let's say, 100 images a day, otherwise CommonsTicker gets stucked :)
