A permalink to the history would be really useful. If it was just the author list and not potentially problematic edit summaries, it's not too likely to cause problems. (Problem usernames can be hidden already). Right now there's no link to the history's permalink even for non-deleted pages. But it is possible, http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?oldid=276617393&action=history will always link to the history of the page that is at [[x]] now even if x is moved and [[x]] becomes a totally different article.
