Easier: add a "show credits" link to pages that transcludes a list of all contributors to text and images. Possibly images could then do with a "creator/photographer" field so that's listed rather than the uploader.
Might be workable -- saw somebody else mentioned an "authors" tab that sounds pretty similar.
Pity there isn't room to make the "History" link/tab say "Article history and authors".
If we're looking to reduce this to a "short" list that would be suitable for in-line display, that sounds prohibitively difficult: if not automated, the process would generate countless amounts of busy work and drama, and it sounds like it'd be nigh impossible to automate.
I think there's already something in MediaWiki that generates a list of all named contributors to an article and renders the article with it appended. I forget how to make it do this, but it's in there, so that bit's been coded.
