Wouldn't it be the most obvious way to get additional input to include
the various graphic labs directly in the process? For example, the
German Grafikwerkstatt (by far not as good as our french colleagues!)
has a dedicated page "Grafikwünsche" at
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Grafikwerkstatt/Grafikw%C3%BCnsche
We're about twenty persons with differing skill levels who look after
that page.
If a request comes in at such a place and it is appropriate for the
Greenspun project, wouldn't it be nice to feed it directly into the
flow, thus giving the local graphicists and the person who asked for the
illustration a chance to help, to evaluate, to look for other pictorial
sources etc. If the request concerns one of the more established fields
of knowledge, where big project groups (on de called "Redaktion") are
available, you could even ask them for evaluations.
This way, the weight of keeping on top of the workflow wouldn't
completely rest on some central shoulders, but especially its parts that
concern graphic skills and topical knowledge could be distributed among
a greater number of persons. The job of Brianna would then basically be
to keep tabs on what everyone else does.
My best wishes,

Hello ! I was a French WikiGraphist, and think that
the level of our
illustration can really be this who is need(ed ?). About the workflow,
it was a discussion : each wikigraphist who was interrested by the
current work gives her mind, help and advise (see
http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikip%C3%A9dia:Atelier_graphique/Images_%C3%A0…)
the graphist who make the picture or propose another version ( see
http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikip%C3%A9dia:Atelier_graphique/Images_%C3%A0…
). When the customer|client and the graphist are
satisfied, the picture is marked as "finish".
It's a collaborativ spirit, not a competitiv spirit, so I am not sure
that is applies to our project .. I go talk about this to the French
Wikigraphist Team !
sorry for the long url, tinyurl not compatible by #id anchor in page...
Amicalement,

How about contacting the French Graphic Team?
They've produced tons of
illustrations (mostly maps) and they might be able to give some
pointers on the possible workflows. (Well, I'm not sure if they even
collaborate on the level we need, but they're successful in setting
quality standards that other people adhere to.)
