I understand that we would not want to blindly move tens of thousands of images at a time, but surely there is a middle ground. Someone could make a tool whereby you could quickly just tick off a list of acceptable images, and the move would "happen"?
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.
