Well, I would like to and since I operate most of the other Flickr tools of Commons I know quite a lot about Flickr. The problem is that 1. I don't know perl and 2. I don't even have time to properly maintain my own tools. However this sounds like a nice project for the stable toolserver <http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Toolserver/Stable_server> <http://wiki.ts.wikimedia.org/view/Stable_server> if there are at least two persons to who are willing to maintain this tool.
