I would trust people if there was a tag {{move to commons}} or something (I know that is actually a tag) that needed to be added by a human. Once that was added a bot could do the transwiki. If you wanted one more level of assurance, perhaps an admin could validate these images and add them to some transwiki interface.
Frequently there are definable *groups* of images that should be transwikied. Like "all images uploaded by X in category Y". Even just adding the tags can be a lot of work. Eg:
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Contributions&limit=20...
I haven't heard anyone oppose moving good images to the commons, it's just that actually doing it is *so slow*. Plus the tools we used to have don't work since the toolserver is now only for non-english wikipedias.
Yeah. Similar deal with renaming wrongly named images. I put a tag on an image once for it to be renamed and 6 months later it was still there. Just because the tools are bad.
