Hi, Marcel.

James and I have spoken about this a lot. The current situation on my
end looks like this:

# There are significant problems in how UploadWizard is structured.
# Those problems make it difficult, if not impossible, to use the UW
  code as a library.
# We have other priorities that have been taking precedence, and we have
  relatively few engineers (basically, me) who are willing and able to
  work on UploadWizard.

I would really prefer to have UploadWizard be the answer, because it
deals with a lot of corner cases that I don't want to lose support for.
A new upload tool would be faster but less helpful overall.

Hope that sheds some light on where I am.
