This is very cool news. :)
One possibly not-too-onerous feature would be to permit upload of other
file types other than DjVu (e.g. PDF). Or there's the whole topic of
creating/finding Wikidata items for the books uploaded, and updating
them with the IA identifier. That'd probably require the uploading user
to specify a Wikidata ID though — which is what the {{book}} template on
Commons should work from anyway, in my opinion (because it can't be done
via a sitelink).
I'm very happy to help with whatever I can!
