This worries me.  We apparently have various people who don't think
before sending changes, yet have direct upload access to most of the
archive.  Is having a note in the wiki really going to suffice?

It appears to me that people who don't use thought in sending changes
(and I'm aware that this is not occuring all the time - at least, I hope
not!) won't have the thought to check the wiki for sane things to do either.
