Actually, the present upload system is both awkward and confusing and could be greatly improved. Wikipedia is down right now so I can't give exact quotations, but the upload page only has one option--a checkbox asserting that the content is GFDL--and a text field providing only a single line of description. You have to be at least half-awake and click on several things in order to get to the description field that lets you typing in a long description.
I think that long descriptions would clutter the upload log. What I do is, give short description, then edit Image page to add longer description and copyright information.
