Seriously, I think it's a Bad Idea to allow the automatic removal of usernames, e.g. by a blacklist. But once I've got ODT export, you can eliminate them yourself manually (by "eliminate" I merely refer to removing their names, of course...)
Hmm. I'm thinking of classic articles like GWB that have been "worked on" by thousands of contributors. Of course, some of those contributors "worked on" it by "contributing" "bush is GAY" etc.
On the other hand, people sometimes do "contribute" without ever editing the article, by suggesting ways of restructing on the talk page, doing a peer review etc.
This isn't a criticism of your feature, more of the GFDL requirements in general.
