As reported in https://ru.wikinews.org/wiki/%D0%92%D0%B8%D0%BA%D0%B8%D0%BD%D0%BE%D0%B2%D0%BE%D1%81%D1%82%D0%B8:%D0%A4%D0%BE%D1%80%D1%83%D0%BC#.D0.9B.D0.BE.D0.BA.D0.B0.D0.BB.D1.8C.D0.BD.D1.8B.D0.B5_.D0.BA.D0.B0.D1.80.D1.82.D0.B8.D0.BD.D0.BA.D0.B8 ru.wikinews community requests local upload privileges. Local upload is already on in en.wikinews, de.wikinews, it.wikinews and pl.wikinews. Please, could you update ru.wikinews configuration? Thank you! Gryllida.
Personally I'd prefer to wait a few more days. (I understand that you only received one answer in the first 8 days for the proposal, but now it seems like there finally is some discussion and opinions.)
I am closing this bug after an IRC discussion with Gryllida. There seems to be 5 votes in favour of implementing local uploads, and two votes against (with varying degrees of certainty), so this clearly shows there isn't enough consensus to implement these changes (60% of votes in favour, when you only look at the maths). Of course, this bug might be reopened when consensus is found in the future.
