Nikola's cutoff above was "If all edits shorter than 10 characters are
excluded..." - this sounds not unreasonable, since adding three words
or more will take you over it.

I'm not sure quite how the results were obtained via WikiBlame, but it
certainly seems a little more meaningful than just dumping every name
which appears in the article history. (Admittedly, that has the
advantage of not accidentally excluding anyone...)
