Our wiki doesn't require an account to edit.

True.  Personally, I have a script that does:

jhead -ft -cmd "jpegtran -rotate $amount -outfile &o &i" "$file"

(The -ft just sets the file's mtime to the EXIF time.)  For people who
do have correct embedded orientation info, you can also also do:

jhead -ft -autorot "$file"
