In which case we seem to have hit a problem.

Under the CC-BY-SA license we have to list all copyright holders, but 
because of privacy issues we cant relate GPS tracks and edits to particular 
people, and so cant list the copyright holders.

Or am I missing something? Perhaps the fact that since all users had to get 
an OSM account, and upload data under the terms of the CC-BY-SA license, 
then they are implicitly agreeing that they can be named as copyright 
holders for a particular area.
