Agreed.
A user page is hardly impossible to find, and directly on the user page, not a subpage, is how I've seen it done.

The right software solution is to also add a user pref that lets you set your default license pref. (including 0, BY, SA).
User pref would be nice to have, but I don't know how would interact with necessary license field on submission form (eg I, pref set to CC0, might be copying BY-SA article).

Yes, we could have an "SA troll" who comes by and edits all pages once with minor edits to set their license; yes, flagged revs would catch this. But even if this happens via "real" edits, it would satisfy me: the default editor who flies by, posts a few summaries, and leaves, will have their initial contribution available in history under BY.
Agreed.
And it lets me contribute my own work under [BY] in a much more recognizable way than by posting to a SA-only site and having an impossible-to-find personal subpage noting "all my contributions are also available under CC-0".
A user page is hardly impossible to find, and directly on the user page, not a subpage, is how I've seen it done.
