ideally your webapp would upload (as the user that is using it) to
wikimedia commons and the name that commons confirms would be added via the
OSM Api (oauth) to the osm object (again as the contributing user).
The problem of batch upload is that a) you would be misrepresenting the
authorship of the image in commons (acting on their behalf), and similarly
b) on OSM it would not be individual users but a collective account which
modifies the data (we prefer the editing user being the author, so that we
ask questions back, and because it might make fighting vandalism easier).
