There are two problems with that...

  - Firstly we can't include any users that have not made their
    identity public yet we are still (in theory) bound to attribute
    them as that is what they signed up for.

  - Secondly we have dropped all history as of the 0.5 API upgrade
    so such a scheme could not provide attribution for any edits
    made before that date.
