Please don't make automated moves.. Commons is not yet as effective at dealing with En's copyright problems as en is.
That's why I said "semi-automated". For instance, since I know about stamps, my ideal is that I should be able to review the PD-stamp category, move all the dubious ones over to fair use for later disposal, then give a command to move the remainder. Larger amorphous categories could be done in groups, a la FlickLickr.
Also, I would expect that prior to requiring uploads to commons, that commons sign up enough additional reviewers and admins to deal with the added workload. I know there are a bunch of people who would relish commons' "shoot on sight" policy - en: always feels bogged down in legalisms by comparison... :-)
Sadily, although common's rules are more restrictive .. their overall enforcement is far more lax (at least past the initial upload). The problems with cross language cross project cooperation result in a lot of difficulty. :(
