Yes, I agree: the IA-Commons-Wikisource workflow is a thing that should
be encouraged no end! :-)

As far as my work-programming time goes, you (I say 'you' but I just
mean 'not-me', for CoI reasons) just need to get tickets onto the Community-
Tech board, then I can perhaps look at them. Which basically means they
have to contribute towards a Wishlist item.

There's Wishlist #44: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T120785 -
*Implement an Internet Archive-like digitalization service.*
I reckon it'd be great to be able to at least upload a PDF or Djvu with
no text layer, and have it create one (either on the same file, or to
upload a new derived file).
