The command line bulk upload command was removed because it duplicated a lot of code found in other apps at a time where Mayan was less modular and more monolithic. The functionality of it also produced problems as it overlapped at least three other apps (documents, sources and metadata).
There is now a complete organization in Gitlab to host apps and related projects for Mayan EDMS: https://gitlab.com/groups/mayan-edms If you have a GitLab account I can create a sub project and help you develop a stand alone bulk uploader.
