Agreed. And here a derivative problem would rise: how we treat submissions from anonyomous (or unregistered users precisely). Curently more than half JA WP & EN WQ contributors are anons. On other projects, about 16-20%. I would make it sure we can safely ignore those anonymous submissions' right as "licence holder" [or somehow possible, because they can't or hardly be contacted, but I am not sure]...
