I think the upload wizard is a great especially the ability to upload many images. One change I would love to see is instead of the "add caption here" when one gets to the "use" section the description one just added appears in that spot instead.
I posted at http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Prototype_upload_wizard_feedbackbu... it does not appear that anyone is actively keeping an eye on it. As this programing is beyond many's ability to implement this may be a job that that would be good to have a paid staff member with these abilities keep an eye.

You should file a bug at https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/. That's the central venue where software issues are tracked.

There is a link in the upload wizard page that goes to
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Prototype_upload_wizard_feedback
it should be being watched.

This page is being watched, and there is a paid developer (Neil K.) working exclusively on it. However, there is quite a number of features to implement, so it's taking quite some time for him to develop basically everything. Normally there should be at least one or two more developers working exclusively on it. But that's just the usual Wikimedia way, few developers are hired anyway. Since the WMF has enough money for it now, they're trying to hire http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Job_openings a few developers they've been needing badly for a long time. But they don't seem to get the employees they need, and that's becoming a serious concern.
