I just realized that saving an image-field without any caption nevertheless stores this to the DB.
By now I have almost 200k rows with empty values which take up a 10th of the whole DB (100Mb/1GB).
I don't think this is this useful?

Thank you for the follow up. I've applied the patch, then used the inverse of it to just continue in the event of an empty value, so only one line of code was changed.
