It's uncontroversial to move images

that had already all been vetted for source and license. Commons doesn't
have the resources to clean up after a move of, say, 100K images of
which 5% are copyvios.
It is such a painful, slow process to manually transwiki an image that
I pray to god that someone will start doing mass moves.
I understand that we would not want to blindly move tens of thousands
of images at a time, but surely there is a middle ground. Someone
could make a tool whereby you could quickly just tick off a list of
acceptable images, and the move would "happen"?
I think Magnus did something semi-automatic, can't find a ref to it now.
Image history will be more meaningful once we have single-login, so I've
hanging out waiting for that. It will go faster if en:'s free-license
categories are scrubbed of copyvios, so there's plenty of work available
now. :-)
