That sounds reasonable.

Well, I can mention it in the commit messages, but I'm not sure about
the metadata... AFAIK we need to put all the attributions and licenses
in the docs section of the package (licenses in their full form,
attributions possibly in a form of a list of images+license+attribution)
and of course the package itself would have to have the appropriate
license (in this case probably something like CC-BY-2.0,
CC-BY-SA-3.0, ... I need to check how to properly handle multiple
licenses).

Erm, how? AFAIK in the wallpaper chooser widget under gnome you cannot
display anything else than a tootlip with wallpaper name (plus the
automatic info about what type of wallpaper it is and where it is
located). I'm not sure about KDE, LXDE and XFCE (KDE uses .desktop
instead of XML and LXDE and XFCE probably nothing)...

Sounds good to me.
