Just as an impression: I understand not wanting to launch looking less
than professional, but.... I suspect that red links encourage editing.

If we had the new travel site up and running would it not be easier to
address the image issue? We will get more volunteers joining in and it will
be easier to figure out what work needs to be done.
If we can keep
wikivoyage-old.org up and running for a year that should
give ample time to address this, no? Would be great to go live as a WMF
site before X-mas.

Surely, it's necessary to check the files before (but this
was not done by the bot). Now it makes a huge
effort to
check the images twice -- at Wikivoyage and at Commons.
The original place as noted by the bot will vanish after some
days. No community member has the chance the check the
original file to get the category, for instance. And we will
have maybe about 40.000 ownerless objects at Commons.
Where does this number come from?
We don't even have lists of images to check/import, as I noted on
https://commons.wikimedia.org/**wiki/Commons_talk:Wikitravel_**

My initial list found 20 thousands needed files, of which about 10 % is
already identified as being on/from Commons <https://commons.wikimedia.**
