It would probably involve a lot of GFDL violation, too. Removing the edit history of a prolific long-time editor would potentially make thousands of articles into copyvios.
Whose copyright would be violated? If the long-time editor gives you permission, then I don't see how it could constitute a copyright violation.
Well it would violate the GFDL which requires attribution, Unless of course you agree to relinquish all rights to those edits and release them into the public domain without need for attribution.
