Hey Dan,
Thanks for the answer.
Since it was urgent I have completed the uploads on Friday using Pywikibot.
Looking at the logs today, it seems that the jobs were unstuck today and yesterday − of course, they failed with « already existing files » errors.
I am tempted to assume that the problem did not lie on the GWT side but on MediaWiki / Wikimedia Commons side.

this is a tough one to troubleshoot. the issue seems to be that there was no additional "metadata job created" entry after 14:57, 28 November 2014. a couple of thoughts:
- the job runner picked up the job that creates additional media file
jobs, but something went wrong - is there someone who could investigate what may have happened with the job runner?
- something went wrong when the job that creates additional media file
jobs ran. there should be an exception message in the php log - is there someone who could investigate that?
Should we open a Phabricator task for this ? Not sure this list is monitored by the relevant folks.
