Not really.  If you want to know who wrote what, you still need to look at 
the diff.

This is a valid concern, but there are topic based roots that would be much 
better than author based.

I assume this is true if it's under a topic based root page too.

In my experience wikis tend to have rather flat name spaces and that is a 
feature and not a bug.  Organizing by author I don't understant at all.
