Description
Should the Contributor have the upload function?
When a Contributor write a post and cannot add images to the post, it complicates the task for Editor! Contributor cannot publish so why would it harm to let them upload some media files?

My guess as why this isn't the experience today is because a contributor could then link to that uploaded file from other sites (hot linking), and maybe there are also security implications?
Please leave adding a milestone to the core team, and don't set ticket priority to high unless it's a serious bug (minor enhancements do not fall into this category).
