I have knocked up a quick fix for Faebot to check all GWT uploads, see
if they have a non-existent {{creator}} links and replace it.
Example:

I'll get Faebot to run through the entire set in a bit. I'll not run
this automatically, so drop a note on my talk page if you need it to
re-run due to a new GWT upload. Once the bug is fixed this should be
irrelevant.

This is a bug that has been a problem on my NYPL uploads (which I have
yet to fix). What *probably* should be happening, is that the <author>
field should be checked for a possible match to a {{creator}}
template, and the template *then* used. Unfortunately it seems to use
it for everything instead.
No quick fix, this needs to be reported as a bug and fixed for
everyone. If when you have completed your uploads you leave me a
prompt on my Commons talk page with a link to your parent category for
uploads, I can let Faebot do the tidy-up as a housekeeping job (or you
could use a tool like VisualFileChange to fix them); I'd probably get
around to it within a day of your request.
