I should have spelt out my thoughts a little more clearly, I was
suggesting a lookup table that could be used for the attribution, not
just by OSM(F), but by others as well, that could be linked to, eg a
wiki page, or shown as overlaid text on map tiles...

The reason for this would be to still attribute major contributors
properly, without risking the database being corrupted by spammers.
