Hi,

I wanted to participate in GSoC 2016 with wikimedia and found a possible project about moving catimages.py from pywikibot-contrib to pywikibot-core. You can find the issue on phabricator at https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T66838  

I spoke to the author of catimages (@DrTrigon) and he mentioned that he was willing to be a mentor for such a project He also raised concern as to whether the community actually wanted this. As the script is quite dated, he mentioned that possibly some things in server side commons need to be changed to work correctly.

I wanted to check if there was still demand for this transition or should the issue be closed ? Is this bot still of use to commons ?

Regards,

AbdealiJK
