Well you could start by giving the one-click upload feature to admins on a
local wiki, and maybe storing the uploaders name in a database, so it can be
traced...

PushForCommons uses CommonsHelper, which already has that option. But,
it is currently hidden, as all one-click uploads are then attributed
to a Commons upload bot. There was concern it might be abused. Now, if
there were consensus to enable this publicly, and if the toolserver
databases were back...
I will continue to push very strongly that any toolserver-based tool,
which does not require any kind of Wikimiedia login, should never
allow essentially anonymous uploads to Commons, as this would. Many,
many many Wikimedia wikis have lax, nonexistent or not-inforced image
use policies. If we were to enable this all sorts of shit would be
transferred and we would have no way of even identifying who had
transferred it. All the cleanup and even no one specific to blame. ;)
Not cool.
So probably any tool like this should be part of MediaWiki. So we know
what that means, chaps: settle in for a good long wait, or else write
it yourself (and then settle back for that wait anyway...).

Sad but true - I would be same as with LonardoG, who was ''only''
moving ''free'' images from his own wiki, but we blamed him for
copyvios (I think we were 100% right).
I someone gives to everyone such toy, he MUSTto know, that he takes
responsibility for that (cause of that my IRC bot interface needs
authorization and userrights for uploading).
