Lately I wrote https://quarry.wmflabs.org/query/5201 to find Commons license templates with no transclusions, which were then listed for deletion at https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Deletion_requests/Unused_license… . Now I would like to also get list of creators of those templates, so I can alert them about the discussion. Is there some easy way to do it, or do I need to modify the query somehow to get it? If so does anybody have some example queries that do it?
Thanks

I think this subject should also be discussed on the Commons mailing list,
as this plan is to demolish the navigational structure of Commons.

It might be a practical solution, but I don't understand what it solves:
what's the practical problem?
Quoting from the project chat, the problem to me seems this: «2.4
millions categories are not connected to corresponding Wikipedia
articles. [...] — Ivan A. Krestinin (talk) 20:22, 18 August 2015 (UTC)».

As I wrote before, that thought is too simple. You only say that a zero
belongs to a zero, and a two belongs to a two, then you only describe the
type of page, but you ignore the subject of a page. That subject matters
much more than the namespace number.
Especially Wikinews is a wrong example, as most categories on Commons do
not have a 1 to 1 relationship with Commons.
However, articles on Wikipedia do have mostly a 1 on 1 relationship with
categories on Commons.
