I would be opposed to implementing this feature until we demonstrate
that we can make good use of it.

We could make such a list on-wiki and use a bot for enforcement. The
software feature would only speed up enforcement. You could start
today.. get tagging!

There was some movement about a year ago to require fair use images to
name their used pages in their justification claims, but this was
opposed by folks advocating boilerplate fair use statements.
