I like the style of this update. An UW question: Where's the best place to discuss adding fields for subject identifiability & consent? And adding a one-link process for "email (c) clearance or consent to OTRS"?
This is the sort of field-set that might only show up for images/media where it seems likely to be appropriate. On the design side, there's the question of how to add this without slowing the upload process for media that don't include people. For instance, it could be an expandable set of fields, which when not filled default to "unknown identifiability / unknown consent". On the technical side, there are great face-identification tools out there. (in this instance, those could be used to modify those defaults and expand the fields on upload.)
