A simple version of that is already implemented. Go to

and click the "check text" tab to see it, hover over a piece of text, and click it. The hover shows the username, and by clicking it, you'll get a diff. (This may not be the latest code.)
According to their Wikimania presentation (hopefully available soon on Commons), they've also prepared a Firefox add-on, WikiTrust, which adds a new "trust info" tab to the top of mainspace articles. The trust info database is still being populated, though, so the trust info itself may be a little skewed; at the presentation they estimated that the English Wikipedia trust info database would be finished in about a month. (Their existing algorithm is language-independent, so presumably the add-on will work for non-English wikis as well.)
The Firefox add-on is still classified as "experimental", but adventurous persons can still get it at < https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/11087%3E.
