I'm no expert on this, but the impression I get is that
mechanical upload does not handle, and manual OTRS intervention
is needed for, situations like:

* "I am the uploader but not the author, but the author told me
  I could."

* "I, the author, hereby grant Wikipedia permission to use
  this copyrighted image under these specific circumstances."
