I would trust people if there was a tag {{move to commons}} or
something (I know that is actually a tag) that needed to be added by a
human. Once that was added a bot could do the transwiki. If you wanted
one more level of assurance, perhaps an admin could validate these
images and add them to some transwiki interface.

I haven't heard anyone oppose moving good images to the commons, it's
just that actually doing it is *so slow*. Plus the tools we used to
have don't work since the toolserver is now only for non-english
wikipedias.
