I used to use a bot made by HardDisk from de.wp to do exactly that, but that one doesn't work any longer. 


* Is CommonsHelper able to rename files during the upload? 
* Does it fix links to new image?
* Does it tag the wikipedia image with {{NowCommons}}?
* License template switching would be nice as well, see http://tools.wikimedia.de/~luxo/litafi.php for an implementation.

Either way, I'd say: YES!

Maybe you would have to change some minor details on the way it handles {{information}} but I would like to see such a tool working for me again.

Best regards and strong support,
