Really? I've never heard of this before. It'd be pointless anyway: If I'm willing to lie when I assert that I've corresponded with someone about such-and-such a license for an image, what's to stop me from forwarding a fabricated email exchange to the Wikimedia Foundation?
It's more work.
Not that much more work. You could do it with a couple of one-liner emails.
But anyway, couldn't the foundation just reply to the original email and check? I mean, unless you went to all the trouble of creating a fake email account with the person's name?
