In this thread, let's discuss how this technology could be integrated with the projects. Should we have a bot that can perform colorization on demand, the way Rotatebot https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Rotatebot can rotate images?
A couple notes:
* This could go in https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ImageTweaks when that's ready.
* This should go to a separate destination file (which it appears ImageTweaks already supports), since unlike rotation (which can be lossless and doesn't fundamentally change the essence of the image), colorization is a complete transformation, and it's worth preserving both old and new in some cases (e.g. historical images from archives).
