Summary: Enable $wgCopyUploadsFromSpecialUpload on Wikimedia

Wikimedia Commons already allows uploading files via URL - used by GLAM Wiki
Toolset, Upload Wizard / Flickr and API.
As this feature is restricted to a small group of trusted users - Image
Reviewers, GWToolset Users and Administrators - I'd like to ask if the feature
could be made available for Special:Upload.
Background:
I do a lot of video uploads which are > 100 MB and I (also other users) never
got chunked uploads to work. I do have set up a server and upgraded my home
internet line for moving video files to Commons. The URL is already whitelisted
and I do have the upload_by_url right. For batch upload like videos from
European Parliament or Bundestag I can use the API. But I also often have
single files that need to be moved to Commons which make it more complicated if
I have to go through a script and do the upload via API, eg. the Lila Tretikov
video we did while travelling in Zürich (in this case a dev which was at the
Hackathon took care of the upload but normally I do not have access to such
people - see the many requests I have already filed to ask devs to upload files
for me).
So is there any good reason to not activate this feature?
