As you can see at [1] there are efforts to unique the templates used on 1 single wiki (e.g. commons) like for image file data. This would push the bot tremendously since it would have to work on one single wiki only afterwards!! (and it would also solve the whole interwiki mess... ![][1]

In fact the option was already included into mw code, but not activated on the installations until now, have a look at [2]. So we are waiting for the activation... After activation we would have to request a botflag on commons (or meta) in order to do the work there.
