Hi,
I have done experiments with this,
an upload form outside of the wikipedia can be implemented in drupal
very easily.
you can create a document type submission with a picture contained.
I have also created bots to do uploaded of pictures, this can been combined.
We should in theory be able to host this on the toolserver, but there is
a policy against drupal..

Installing drupal just for providing an upload form? O_O
You can upload from an external site using the classical upload easily
(I doubt UploadWizard allows that) but the users would need to be
logged-in in commons anyway.
The reason for making people go upload to commons is not that people is
already "wiki friendly", but that a goal of the competition is that we
want them able to upload to commons. Although we will provide a custom
interface for the fields they need based on UploadWizard.
Renessaince: the code for [1] is available at [2] but since we will be
using UploadWizard, I wouldn't begin translating that different one.
