How about a separate author tab, similar to the
revision one? All
authors of non-minor marked edits could be named, possibly in the form
of a "tag-cloud" where weight is given to the amount of edits and bytes
added.

I really don't think it's a problem. There are plenty of resources.
There will always be people who will be happy to adjudicate cases like
this. I think questions about authorship will come up less often than
requests for article deletion. And many of those debates are even more
stupid than the ones that would come up about article attribution.
Are you sure there will be people willing to adjudicate? I certainly
wouldn't want to be the one to tell someone their contribution isn't
worthy of credit. There are plenty of people willing to adjudicate
content disputes, sure, but this isn't about content, it's about
people, and that changes things.
