Yes, this is what I meant: not what I called a handful solution, neither in the principle nor in the implementation. What would be the disadvantages having these two information in the DB?

PS: Thank you for proposing your help for the scripting, but this not really my purpose with this email - I really hope to find a clean solution instead of having to code/use some painful scripts on millions of pictures.
Placing that code in MediaWiki itself (ie. an extension) and storing it in page_props.
Note however that there are some pictures with multiple authors (derivative works, collages...) and those are harder to determine and store (a simple field for the author is not enough).
