We can't use this particular tool because it includes a tracking bug. However, I like the idea of automatically providing CC-BY-SA attribution. I think we should hold a projects-wide vote on this, probably it would go over well. Another area to consider automatic attribution is within EXIF data so that images are automagically attributed. Some people might find that too easy though, and I'm not sure if it's within the CC-BY-SA license. Can the attribution be embedded within the image that is being embedded, or must it be in the content that embeds the media? It seems that EXIF embedded attribution for images ensures that the license gets propagated.
