This is very cool news. :)
One possibly not-too-onerous feature would be to permit upload of other file types other than DjVu (e.g. PDF). Or there's the whole topic of creating/finding Wikidata items for the books uploaded, and updating them with the IA identifier. That'd probably require the uploading user to specify a Wikidata ID though — which is what the {{book}} template on Commons should work from anyway, in my opinion (because it can't be done via a sitelink).
I'm very happy to help with whatever I can!

Dear all,
Wikimedia Italia put in its budget 3000€ for Wikisource-related work.
When we discussed this, months ago, we thought about paying a developer for
the DJVU issue of the IA-Upload tool,
which then has been resolved by our beloved Sam Wilson.
The tool is still not perfect (I often get errors), so maybe some development is still needed, but I'd ask you (especially technically skilled people like Tpt, Sam, Philippe, etc.) if you think there is some low-hanging fruit that could be reached with that kind of budget.
Of course, we will be looking for developers, so if you want to propose yourself for something, please do! ;-)
