Hoi, Improving of the 'quality' of pictures is not in and of itself something that is not without controversy. There have been fierce fights in the past over exactly this subject and there are a great many people that do not upload to Commons as a result.
The notion that there is software that allows you to improve pictures needs to be handled with caution. I have seen tragic attempts of improvement that were anything but. It is nice to have tools that allow you to work on pictures, it needs judgement to know when to do this. Giving the possibility to overwrite existing pictures to everyone is imho NOT a good idea.
Everyone (account > 4 days) already has this possibility. It's just now they have to do it manually, by downloading the file, editing up, and uploading it again.
