Not other OTRS volunteers. How can I see it? If I can't, then it's a black box and it's the same as saying "some guy said it", because we cannot see what they said, how they said it, who said it, when or where.

When someone says that permission was given for an image under GFDL on commons, by its copyright holder, how do you verify that was correct and not an impersonator? You don't. You take the OTRS volunteer's word that they have indeed checked the person granting permission was in fact checked and ensured they were the copyright holder as they claimed, or their representative. Same thing. FT2
