The image editing part is already solved. The problem is the massive library of templates, which are copyright some unknown person, hence a legal liability. If you need to upload your own template you may as well use GIMP - it's not like it's hard to create a few text layers after adding the template. Prepositioning them and scaling them isn't that big a deal.
Give me an example of a GIMP made meme with white Impact font, black borders, please, and tell me how long it took you.
I mean, it's not hard, but it takes way longer than 4 clicks and a few keystrokes like on the aforementioned sites.
If you want an open source tool, you're not going to have a proprietary font in it, are you?
But you're right that I hadn't thought about the borders.
You could make an imagemagick script.
