Apologies if I'm missing something but is there any reason why we can't do image rotation on the client using the canvas JavaScript api?

I'm not sure about the need to rotate the original file; ideally original files should be left as-is and kept archival.
In my opinion, we need to solve image rotation as part of a larger project to support in-browser rasterized image manipulation. A bot shouldn't be necessary here. We should have the ability, in a Web browser, to crop, rotate, and make other basic manipulations to rasterized images. The fact that we have a media repository using software called MediaWiki that doesn't include an in-browser basic photo editor is pretty silly.
Agreed! Most of that probably should be non-destructive editing that keeps the original and applies crop/rotate/filters along with thumbnailing as necessary. That'll take some more infrastructure work though.
Of course if you're going to draw on a picture that'll require uploading a new version.
