"Author" as in the one who scanned the image could be predefined by
the real name field of /etc/passwd. If the frontend can get the list
of devices, also the manufacturer and model of the scanner is known.

But these features should be optional. Not everyone may like to see
his name, the date and more details on some random scan he wants show
on his website.
