It isn't ready but the talk page has a list of maintenance work people can do even without being admins. It also has some instructions. Like I said, it isn't ready, and I'm sorry I have lately been too busy to push it forward even though other people liked the idea. But in time...
You want experenced and active admins. Something everyone is short of to do non admin maintenance tasks includeing adding welcome templates? This does not seem to be a reasonable use of rescourses.
Bots add welcome templates.
People check that new users make their uploads properly (licenses, information, categories). 80 % on new users do it wrong. 80 % of "bad images" come from new users.
