I actually suggested such a thing in another thread on this topic ^_^ It
would require a monster search index (all revisions of all article text),
but it wouldn't get a ton of use so wouldn't use too many resources.

I advocate a much more flexible attribution

the original author of that text. It's not so
trivial with images, but a
link to the history page of an image can be embedded in its metadata.
Could you implement a wikiblame extension?
That would make attribution much cleaner.
