I put a version of what I imagined earlier live at
    http://tools.wikimedia.de/~magnus/pushforcommons.php

I have disabeled the upload part, so it is currently only usable as a
"bad license hunter". The image name leads to the description page, the
image links to its "big" version.
An image on commons with the same name (so it exists) is displayed in
the "commons" column; also, a note is "commons" is mentioned in the
description, indicating that the image is on commons under another name.
