So let me give a hypothetical. Say my grandmother takes a really awesome photograph. She doesn't want to create a Wikipedia or Commons account. In fact, she doesn't even have a computer. Furthermore, she doesn't want her name up on the Internet. But she is willing, after some persuasion from me, to license her photo under Sharealike 1.0.
Can I put this image in Wikipedia and/or Commons without lying?
Why not? If you ask me, just say so. Good enough. If you don't want to use your name either then use a throwaway account, and say so.
I'm pretty sure I've seen things like this (for public domain rather than CC-SA).

I see no problems, just say "Created by my grandmother who agreed to license it as CC-SA-1.0."
[[en:WP:V]] anyone?

We have to assume good faith in image uploads unless there's a reason to do otherwise. If we find the image on the internet saying it's copyrighted with all rights reserved, then we'd delete it, or if every other of the user's 200 images were proved to be copyvios, we'd delete it, but if we have no evidence, we don't delete it.

On the contrary, policy (as well as Jimbo) states an image without provenance shall be deleted.

If there's an image that the uploader who is in good standing says was created by him (or his grandmother) that appears to be a homemade image and we have no reason to think that he didn't take it, then we wouldn't delete it.

Of course a general copyright notice on a page that includes the picture along with other material does not imply that the picture is by itself protected by copyright.
