At one point in the upload wizard the uploader is able to enter a name to be shown. This name is used in the "author" field of the information field. This name should also be used in the attribution field of the license. See for example https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=File:GLAM_tooling_project_GLAMcamp.pdf&diff=prev&oldid=63283079
Added in r105766
r105766 was reverted. Please fix this in a better way.
