The big ticket thing is generating and uploading the galleries.

For example I was photographing a horse show last weekend, and I have around 3000 pictures and 30 participants.

I used to do that "by hand" with a SaaS, it would take me a full day. I did talk with them to get access to their existing API, but they kept saying they didn't have an API... Stupid.

Now instead, the "generating and uploading" galeries itself takes a single command, and I can use the spare time to sort pictures, be nicer to the customers and take more pictures :)

I am looking at something similar - generating 200-ish usable images in a shoot with 20 people, sending photos for approval to each person and retouching their top selections.

Especially when dealing with high profile individuals and want to generate individual galleries.

Well I couldn't find that in the opensource/SaaS, so I built mine.

It's possible I'll make it publicly available one day, but seeing my track record, I probably won't too :p

Maybe have a look at digiKam. It can generate HTML galleries and is the closest thing I could find to my use case. It takes a bit of tinkering, but you can generate nice stuff.
