I am willing to offer my services here. I am an admin (even
bureaucrat) on Commons, but have not been active recently simply
because there's so much more to do; however, I think I can be of much
use here because I already have logins on basically all Wikipedia
languages, so I can act as if single logon already exists. If you can
inform me of images that should be deleted but currently are not
because they are still in use, I'd be happy to go around and unlink
them. Letting me do so would I think be better than having a bot for
it, because I will go and check whether there is any replacement
available, and replacing is much harder than delinking to do by bot
(because one has to check whether the subtitle is still applicable).
