Commons practice is to rename meaningless names (DSC123.jpg)
(https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Rename#Which_files_should_be_renamed.3F).

It probably isn't the end of the world if someone has to go through and
do it later. However, if they provide neither name nor description up
front this could be quite challenging.

We could also do the upload in two steps, as UploadWizard does. First, we upload the file to the "stash" area with a temporary name. Then, once we have title and description filled out, we go ahead and move the file from the stash to its final name and apply the description page. This avoids exposing the image to Commons admins until it's ready. ;)

This might complicate the UI a bit for multiple uploads, dunno.
