You should wait for an answer from people who know more about this, but my initial response would be "depends on the license". Most people fail when they try and work out which license they want to submit a picture under. Clear explanations of the licenses and descriptions of common situations, or the advice to e-mail and *ask* about which license should be chosen, would be better than people picking the wrong one and getting chewed up and spat out by the system. You would also likely need more than just "author". You would need to prove that you were the author, or had permission from the author (in many cases, they will want permission from the author, unless the author is dead or something). You will also need to show that the author holds the copyright, and not someone else. The rest of the stuff is standard. > How long would this take? Time to go through? Dunno.

Best not to test this one! :-) Hopefully OTRS and Commons have some stats on this.
