If we already had the unique login system, it would only be a fact of <form
action changing at the user level.
No. The idea is to handle the upload from the home wiki, so to speak;
the user shouldn't ever need to be directed somewhere on Commons. And
this particular aspect has nothing to do with single sign-on (although
it's needed before we can go ahead with it, since images must be
associated with an uploader).
