change such that from a certain point on any edit will

Yes, we could just extract the long list of names (including offensive
vandal names) from the history, store it, and update it.
As an aside, someone once suggested (and I think coded up a
demonstration) for "hiding" vandal usernames - they'd be quietly
removed from history pages, etc, and marked as [vandal] or [blocked
user] the like. The main reason to do this was to avoid all the cruft
on Special:Listusers, but it could help here...
