How about demanding from foundation to allocate some part of latest usability improvement grant/resources (http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Press_releases/Wikipedia_to_become_more_...) to solve at some of Commons problems?
We probably won't get to much Commons-specific stuff in there, but we'll see what sub-projects come up.
As for user language: see comments in similar request about user's gender (https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13040), which also affect quality of MediaWiki localizations.
Will social gender (often, but not always aligned with biological sex) always track with grammatical gender?
What are the cascading implications of user gender on localization (adjective agreement in Romance languages, verb agreement in Semitic languages) and what technical requirements would be imposed?
