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.
