< Q3: Do we have historical stats on the # of media files in Commons by
filetype or mediatype?

I guess we have "historical" stats in the history (starting in November
2008). I agree we should track these stats (and their temporal
evolution) somewhere.
I am inclined to point people to special:uploadwizard,
another fine
beta, even though it elides this part of the permissions process, and
to encourage them to categorize uploads with a simple memorable tag.
The Upload wizard is currently suffering from critical bugs that are the
reason why it's no longer advertized from the upload form. Neil
Kandalgaonkar and Ryan Kaldari are currently working to resolve these
bugs.
When these problems are solved, I guess the next step will be to
continue to develop planned features for the UploadWizard.
The original specifications included a process to facilitate the
handling of permissions, using auto-generated e-mails; I don't know if
this feature is still planned.
< Q6: do we still have that 100MB file size limit?
can we change this to 500MB?
When we're talking about files this big, the problem, as I understand
it, isn't really the size limit, but the fact that the bigger the file,
the more likely the upload is to fail because of network flakiness or
something.
If I remember correctly, Michael Dale has been working on a feature that
splits big files into small chunks, to minimize this risk, but it's not
enabled yet.
