I think there's certainly a germ of an idea here. If we start tagging images with {{tl|fairusein}}, we could move that all images so tagged are not speedyable under the orphan rule, but rather must be taken to ifd. That would not, however, help if the uploader was on holiday, as ifd lasts five days, but the uploader would at least be notified, as that is part of the ifd process. It puts another obstacle in the way of the above circumstance.
fairusein is essentially now a requirement, just in the process of being implemented. I will suggest that these are left out of the bot assisted orphaned fu trawl (which isnt running at the moment as tools has lost a drive apparently).
But free images on commons are worth a thousand fair uses.
