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.
