--- Comment #2 from SJ <[email protected]> ---
I see the other bugs in this series were reclassified as a MediaWiki bug:  the
solution does not necessarily have to work for all MW installations.  

For one thing, this is a very Commons-specific problem.  Most non-WMF wikis can
simply turn on acceptance of all file types: problem solved :) 

For another thing, the easiest solution is to pipe such requests through the
Internet Archive converter, and then read back the results.  IA is willing to
do this for all uploads to Commons; but would not do so for all uploads to any
MW install.  

The set of bugs is a request to provide the end-result functionality via the
Commons "upload file" interface - the obstacle blocking the majority of all
people from sharing the majority of all non-image files - not any particular
implementation.
