This is very wrong as license is not fetched  and photographer is only Fir;
not all people edited that "file" page.

I raised this complaint earlier (in Commons). This is mentioned at EN too

Fwiw, a new PDF exporter is being tested, and looks like it'll be deployed soon: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/PDF_rendering

It might be worth checking (I have not) what attribution is done in the new exporter. If it's better, then the right fix would be to just deploy the new exporter ASAP.

Best,
