User:Carcharoth wanted me to pass this on: I agree with you that photo credits should be easier to access - not so much for individual photographers (though that would be nice), but the vast amount of, say, Library of Congress, NASA, and other US government/public institution pictures. Astronomical pics, for example, should always say in the caption what instrument took them, and so on.
I'd say the latter case is an editorial matter, not one of attribution per license. Our NASA images are generally public domain in any case; attributions in the captions are because they're interesting and relevant to the article.
