I'm not sure about the need to rotate the original file; ideally original
files should be left as-is and kept archival.
In my opinion, we need to solve image rotation as part of a larger project
to support in-browser rasterized image manipulation. A bot shouldn't be
necessary here. We should have the ability, in a Web browser, to crop,
rotate, and make other basic manipulations to rasterized images. The fact
that we have a media repository using software called MediaWiki that
doesn't include an in-browser basic photo editor is pretty silly.
Agreed! Most of that probably should be non-destructive editing that keeps
the original and applies crop/rotate/filters along with thumbnailing as
necessary. That'll take some more infrastructure work though.
Of course if you're going to draw on a picture that'll require uploading a
new version.
