Co-author topics

We are using discourse for a social intranet in a big public institution and are quite fond of it. One increasingly important use case that we have, is providing information in form of wiki pages. I know that this is not the main focus of discourse, but let me explain how we would love the wiki content to be represented anyhow. In essence, we would like an edit to a wiki page to have a similar effect as if the author replied to a post. I see three places for this effect:

  • In topic lists, it would be fantastic if wiki-editors would be listed in the same way that post authors are listed:

  • In the list of latest posts, the author of the latest edit should be shown instead of the initial author:

Any finally, when viewing a post, it would be great if the last editor, not the initial author, would be shown:

Any thoughts on this, and perhaps any advice on how to implement this as a theme component?
