No, please don't do that. As discussed on other threads, the correct place to provide attribution is on http://www.openstreetmap.org/copyright and the associated wiki page, http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Contributors If you want to provide sources for the entities in the bulk import, then do so using a tag on the changeset. It uses approximately 1/50,000th of the space in the database. Further, since it's only the first version of the entity that comes from the bulk import, that source for that version can be automatically traced via the changeset, and saves us waiting 6 months before adding it to the ever-growing list of tags-to-automatically-strip-in-editors. In summary, the entities created in a bulk import should contain the absolute minimal set of tags. The changesets are an appropriate place for any necessary metadata regarding the import.
