The tool posts the pictures to Wikimedia Commons, logging in there is required for file upload (hello I'm Jessamyn the Community Manager at the Flickr Foundation - please try this tool out and let us know what you think). It was created in partnership with the Wikimedia Foundation.

The images could be uploaded using a bot account, but if the user corrects any of the metadata during the upload, you don't want those contributions attributed to the bot.
