Ok, I've discussed this off-list with Nick and did a test run for 1000 
(of roughly a quarter million) ways. Here is one example touched by the 
script:

http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/4018604

The license change view has picked up that this way doesn't carry any of 
JohnSmith's changes any longer and therefore it is now colored yellow:

http://tools.geofabrik.de/osmi/?view=wtfe&lon=151.94918&lat=-27.56668&zoom=17

Of course one can simply switch off the yellow stuff with the check box 
on the left if one finds it confusing - yellow is just a way for OSMI to 
tell you that it considers this way OK based in its own reckoning rather 
than because it has a squeaky clean history.

If people are happy with that, I will run the script for the remaining 
ways. But don't expect miracles - it's a lot of data and it will take 
one or two weeks to complete.
