Indeed, not until bug 30607 is fixed. Which has other dependencies which have
dependencies.

I find that somewhat misleading. ListFiles does not and is not intended for
listing file by author. Merely by uploader of a revision.  It is like creating
Special:MyPages to redirect to Special:Contributions/<username>.

It is too late to remove Special:MyUploads (in its current form). But that is
no reason to spread that wrong assumption further. Right now Special:ListFiles
is basically just a subset of Special:Contributions (since file uploads also
create null-edits in page history/contributions) on the file-namespace with
thumbnails next to it. A link "My uploads" to that is wrong.
