Could an extension avoid the need for manually uploading images? (Or, is there any prospect that files will work properly with special:export?)
To answer your last question, there's been an open bug requesting image exporting for quite some time now.
As a (semi-crappy) workaround, you could theoretically point a ForeignApiRepo at commons/mw.org and get all the images you'd need, but I'd hardly suggest this feature being used en masse. It's far too fragile.
