That would help, but it's often not the uploader who is responsible for the use of an image on a Wiki. One needs a more general way to notify the editors who are watching the page on which the image is used.
At the moment, CommonsTicker does not work on the English Wikiedia, and there is no way an en.W user can be advised in advance that a particular Commons image is likely to be deleted.
One option would be to write some code that would leave a short message on the talk page of any article on which an image nominated for deletion is in use.
Anyone care to write something like that?

Why don't we suggest turning the "Notify me per e-mail when my talk page is edited" feature on by default for new accounts? That would effectively do the same thing, but without a bot.

That would be really good. Full support!

Some years ago I created {{notify me}}. The idea was to make the bot responsible for alerting local projects of deleted and altered pictures (CommonsTicker?) notify people on their home wiki. Unfortunately that function got never implemented.
The template is/was mentioned at every welcome page users see when they register on Commons. The majoritiy of registration processes should be obsolete with SUL, but maybe we can get Duesentrieb to implement the feature ...
