There were 1866 images uploaded on that day.  I only checked about
quarter of them, so it's actually around 250-300 untagged images.  I
could certainly modify OrphanBot to tag images with a blank image
description page as "no source", but if there's content on the image
description page (which is true for most of them), it takes a human to
tell the difference between {{no license}} and {{GFDL-presumed}}.

I don't know about that.  If you want to use something that's not in
the menu, it means two things: (1) you care enough to want the image
to be tagged correctly, and (2) you know enough to realize that the
tag you want isn't in the menu.  Getting rid of the menu won't make
this true for more people.
