What do you mean by edit? Are we just talking about
combining the chunks
and then rendering? If so, that's doable. The advantages of sending it to
WMF however is that someone there have direct access to the server and can
upload quicker / accept bigger file size.
Yes. By "edit" I mean "combine the chunks and cut them into
sessions".

Yes, that's related to copyright and permissions
of the material, but what
about that first sentence:
*You shall not download any Content unless you see a “download” or similar
link displayed by YouTube on the Service for that Content*
Jan pointed out that youtube2mediawiki.py doesn't actually "download"
the
video, so I think we're fine with the provisions of licensor's permission
in the sentence below.
Commons is ultra-conservative with copyright, but doesn't really care about
any other terms and conditions imposed by anyone else. So I think it's fine
to transfer the videos from YouTube to Commons - no copyright is violated
and the ambiguity in the YouTube TOS works in our favour.
