I could try to automatically generate some lists with people missing
pictures (actors, politicians etc). People with "bad" images could be
listed manually.
Don't know how to best get agent emails. Maybe use press contact addresses?
Someone with a wikimedia email could then mail out standard "suggestions".

Would you like to follow up on that idea?

Like:
Your client XYZ has an article on Wikipedia [accessed N times in the
last month, if that data is available], but no/bad photo. We'd be
happy to display a picture of your choice if you can release one under
a free license, e.g., cc-by-sa.
I'm sure many agents would at least try to pry a decent picture from
the hands of a photographer for this.
