YES! Restoring the history of contributors is required by the license anyway.

If actually amending the old histories to the current histories doesn't work or becomes a major bear, then perhaps a link to the older history from within the current history page would suffice?
If such a link can be made, it would also be nice to have this work for redirects as well (that is, from the history of the target page there would be a link to the redirect's history). That way if an article was previously moved manually then there still would would be obvious links to that old history at the newer page title's history.
I alone manually moved several hundred (at least) articles in February and March from improperly capitalized and pluralized page titles to convention complaint ones.
