A mediawiki upload should be specific and

more functionality besides picking multiple files and uploading them. Most
importantly, it has to provide a way to provide the basic information about
license, source and authorship. Programs for this exist, I was just thinking
that a firefox ad-on would be simpler to deploy and maintain that a standalone
program, and people would be more likely to iunstall and use it.
If a MediaWiki-specific workaround would exist, it would presumably be
a Java applet that wouldn't require separate installation. You're
right that such an applet could be written to do way more than just
show upload progress.
That would requrie a signed applet, with users having to click through scary
warnings etc. not a good option.
