Well, image upload for userpage use is explicitly permitted on Commons[1], as long as it is used and copyright status is fine. (To get meta uploader right, you need a clear use case, and it is rarely given. Meta does not allow EDP (fair use), so if it is fair use, it cannot be hosted on Commons nor on meta.)
[1]: See [[c:COM:SCOPE]], I'm mobile so cannot find section, but there must be one about this.

That's what I was going to do originally, but then I looked at my profile picture on en wiki[1] I saw this message:
"Do not copy this file to Wikimedia Commons.
While the license of this image or media file, uploaded and used on (a) Wikipedia contributor(s) user page(s), may be compliant with Commons, its usefulness to other projects is unlikely. It should not be copied to Commons unless a specific other usage is anticipated."
I took that to mean that profile pictures in general were discouraged from being placed in commons. If that's the case, then it makes sense for profiles on meta to have the same policy.

Could we get uploading privileges allowed for normal users (such as myself) on meta? Otherwise profile photos will require special privileges.
We have Commons for that. Meta does not allow non-free or fair-use images anyway.
