Anonymous edits are not a problem. The problem is that the GFDL requires me to credit at least the 5 "main" authors, so the question is, how to determine them. Similarly, academic citing practices call for the 3 main authors. WikiTrust would allow us to easily determine who has contributed how much to a given version of a page. Which would be quite useful.
Seems there exist already tools to list contributors to a page.

It will be normal for a wiki page to have 80 authors (thats a fact). If you want to chose only 3, you have to ignoring some authors for some subjective bias, like... strlen(concat(modifications)) , COUNT(edits),... o using WikiGenes (I guest, wikigenes work almost like that "Blame" feature of a CVS system). I feel like you will be lying to support some external limitation :/ Who is the author of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One_Thousand_and_One_Nights&& ? Maybe you sould ask for a exception on the GFDL, make so the authors of GFDL make a new version of the license that support how a wiki work, to avoid report 3 authors for a text that (by fact) has 80 authors.
