Did you  look at wikiblame?  It does a lot more than just list a few names.   
The preamble to the GFDL says as a secondary purpose, "this License preserves 
 for the author and publisher a way to get credit for their work, while not  
being considered responsible for modifications made by others."  Just  listing 
three names and "with numerous other contributors" doesn't preserve  for 
*all* authors (or any publisher) a way to get credit for their work, and  makes no 
effort to keep authors from being considered responsible for  modifications 
made by others. >>


---------------------------
And my idea is not to *replace* the history tab, it's to allow  attribution.
The requirement of the license is satisfied by the history tab  details.
