Quick solution/hack:

- import the picture on darktable, using a year placeholder on the
copyright (like "YEAR_EXIF_COPYRIGHT")
- activate the option "check for changed XMP on start" on darktable,
and exit the program
- run a script reads the year from the RAW file using exiv2, and
replaces the "YEAR_EXIF_COPYRIGHT" placeholder on the XMP using sed
- open darktable, it should ask you to update the database based on
the changed XMPs

Guillermo
