Also, is "Images for deletion" working well? Could fair-use disputes (by bots) be taken to Ifd? I think it would be helpful if fair-use discussions were held in a centralised place per image, rather than on some talk page as appears to be the case currently.

This is my personal opinion, and probably not even consensus within admins who deal with images a lot. IFD and fair use review are somewhat old systems that stay in place because of inertia more than anything else. They don't scale at all to the number of images that get deleted for various reasons every day. Obviously we will always need some completely deliberative process for images that fail every other mode, and IFD probably should remain to fill that need. The more we can move the rest of the processes to a decentralized model the better though.
