A simple version of that is already implemented. Go to

http://wikitrust.soe.ucsc.edu/index.php/Main_Page

and click the "check text" tab to see it, hover over a piece of text,
and click it. The hover shows the username, and by clicking it, you'll
get a diff. (This may not be the latest code.)

There's definitely a need to consolidate the FlaggedRevs revision tag
indicator with any WikiTrust UI elements.
