GFDL doesn't say anything about having a full wiki history for each piece of text. A list of the authors who edited it available and linked somewhere from the text should be fine, although wikipedia destroyed the original list so it could prove somewhat troublesome for them given the copyright owners who collaboratively authored the text allowed wikipedia to destroy their contribution history.
Many administrators are willing to temporarily undelete to userspace pages deleted for reasons other than libel, copyright violation etc. in order for them to be exported with complete history. I would certainly do so.
That would be handy in the spirit of cooperation so that even if wikipedia doesn't see content as fitting its goals it can be utilised elsewhere under a free license!
