Now what would be REALLY good to slow down problem uploaders would be if we could block users from uploading, only ( see http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4995 , my baby!). Seems like it could be really handy on en.wp too. Because copyvio image users do not also tend to be copyvio text users, that's my observation.
Um. You can block users from uploading. It's called the block button. If someone is too incompetent or too malicious to discontinue uploading inappropriate material after they have been asked to stop then they have no business editing what so ever... what makes you so sure they aren't busily adding copyvio articles? It's not always easy to spot.
Don't use technology to fix broken people. Whats proposed isn't at all equal, we want email addresses so what we can educate people who would otherwise never hear our messages.
