CommonsHelper does have the functionality to do direct uploads via the
aforementioned bot account, however, that has been deactivated since
forever, due to concerns.
I would like to propose the reactivation of that feature.
I used to use a bot made by HardDisk from de.wp to do exactly that, but that one
doesn't work any longer.
* Is CommonsHelper able to rename files during the upload?
Yes.
* Does it fix links to new image?
If you mean, "does it edit the original wikipedia", then no.
* Does it tag the wikipedia image with {{NowCommons}}?
I remember coding a button for this; I probably just turned it off.
* License template switching would be nice as well,
see
http://tools.wikimedia.de/~luxo/litafi.php for an implementation.
CommonsHelper already does a lot of template transitions, including licenses.
Either way, I'd say: YES!
A binary decision! On a wiki(p|m)edia mailing list! I have to frame this one :-)

... but Panoramafreiheit, Logos and pictures from
2007-100=1907
I can filter for Panoramafreiheit and Logo categories. Images from
1907 should be OK on Commons, right? We could name it {{PD-old-50}},
if all fails...
Maybe you would have to change some minor details on
the way it handles {{information}} but I would like to see such a tool working for me
again.
I'm open for suggestion (maybe off-list?).
Best regards and strong support,
Flo
