A mediawiki upload should be specific and provide more functionality besides picking multiple files and uploading them. Most importantly, it has to provide a way to provide the basic information about license, source and authorship. Programs for this exist, I was just thinking that a firefox ad-on would be simpler to deploy and maintain that a standalone program, and people would be more likely to iunstall and use it.
If a MediaWiki-specific workaround would exist, it would presumably be a Java applet that wouldn't require separate installation. You're right that such an applet could be written to do way more than just show upload progress.
That would requrie a signed applet, with users having to click through scary warnings etc. not a good option.
