For what it's worth, I'm taking a multiple-backend approach where the actual upload method can be configured based on browser capabilities. It's been a "nice to have" feature since day one to do an HTML5 drag & drop upload, but that keeps getting delayed as other things come up.
If someone is interested in doing this feature, I'd help.

We all know that uploading a file on commons, and on Wikimedia, is kind of tricky nowdays. However, this could be changed thanks to HTML5.
HTML5 includes the drag and drop thingy that makes the uploads easier and that can automatically fetch the EXIF datas. If we want we could even allow the multiple drag and drop.
There are a lot of things we /could/ do, but only few we /can/ do with limited resources. Unless you're offering to develop the feature yourself :)
