Completely random appreciation for whoever implemented the "undo" feature in MediaWiki, one of its many hidden gems. :-)
Looks like the main contributors to this were Andrew Garrett in July 2006 [1] and December 2006 [2], Aaron Schulz in March 2007 [3], and Andrew again in July 2007 [4].
So appreciation for them, the other old hands that have been around for such an incredibly long time, and all the other committers that created the tens of thousands of commits in MediaWiki's history [5]; it's always interesting to dig through them when looking up old stuff like this.

[5] For those of you wondering "shouldn't that be 'over 100k?': there were about 114k revisions in SVN at the time of the git migration, but those weren't all MW core. At the time of this writing, there were about 43k commits in the mediawiki/core.git history (excluding merge commits).
