The CC-SA license doesn't exist ;-) Presumably you meant CC-0. I'd
agree with Oliver that changing this would probably be more complexity
than it's worth.

The vanishing users thing is also a bit concerning. I agree that
attributing something to "anon-655345" is a bit silly, but equally I
don't think we can practically insist that a vanishing user is
required to relinquish their copyrights before we let them vanish.
