That's true, by running local (or remote) WMS there is not much to care about 
warping, knowing the original projection of image is enough. Using local images 
in JOSM that does not support reprojecting would require warping images to 
WGS84 with external program like gdalwarp first.  And if images are not 
georeferenced there is an additional and not very simple task more. But it 
looks like next version of Qgis Georeferencer plugin will be quite nice tool 
for this. OpenStreetMap WMS service would be a great pair with it for measuring 
ground control points.

I haven't tried yet, but there really seems to be one that can only read
http://faunalia.it/qgis/
and another that should be able to upload as well
