One quick thought: when I ask people to release images and they're a bit iffy about it, I sometimes ask them if they'd be more comfortable releasing a lower resolution version (we wouldn't normally display an image in an article at above 300px).
Oh, and I'm interested in being kept in the loop on anything like this. Is there a GLAM mailing list somewhere?

I think spreading a request link
would be a big win, yes.
