It would be interesting to make a proposal to the community that the whitelist is dropped for some demonstrably good uploaders. I would have to think about the case for dropping it all together, as GWT rights are often granted to uploaders with virtually no long term history on Wikimedia projects. In fact one feature of GWT is that it can be used by GLAM professionals with no previous project experience, in particular may find unexpected difficulties in handling community contention over their uploads.

BTW: IMHO the whitelist stuff should be removed. I see no need to whitelist domains. We assume good faith, unlikely that a GWT user uploads tons of copyvios.
Users have to apply for the right and then they have to whitelist the domain, too complicated.
For example https://tools.wmflabs.org/url2commons/ has no restriction at all (as far i know), at least not a domain whitelist.
