Currently, we require a confirmation via OTRS if an image was previously published elsewhere before being uploaded to Commons.
Really? can you provide a link to a policy age proving that assertion?

I think professional photographers should have their account confirmed by OTRS.
Feel free to raise an RfC to make that policy if you think it would gather support.
