Sounds like a good idea to me. Perhaps it could simply be an author list instead of an attribution list, then we only have one thing.
Then you have to solve unwanted edits showing up in the author profiles of original creators A way of making that work is to assume the first author is always the most recent creator, easier for skin creators but a bit jank otherwise
Currently, attributions are given either appended to the name (which is awkward when you want to see a specific author's profile), or added in the image (which is also awkward for obvious reasons)
I suggest making a list of attributions. So if whis makes greyfox.png, the attribution list starts empty. Bob edits greyfox and uploads bob_greyfox.png, and Bob is required to add "whis" to an attributes list. Joe edits bob_greyfox.png, and the attributes list becomes ["whis", "Bob"]. I'm also open to other implementations or ways of solving this problem.
Note that any changes must also be made to the skindb bot. I suggest
"default" by Teeworlds [whis, Bob] (CC BY)
as it seems simple enough.
