Not yet. Where should I put it?  Any suggestions.

Yes, I would like to see all the contributors to each word or line.

Basically one line of blame per contributor, so many lines of output.
Ideally we would have something that is usable in a html display. Lets
say, just an blame attribute for each word. so on one line :

This is a line with two changes first change Second change  end of line

It would look like this in html :
This is a line with two changes <span blame=revisionid>first
change</span><span blame=revisionid>Second change</span> end of line

The blame edit could look like this :
REVISION ID 1    48     :  This is a line with two changes first
change first change \
REVISTION ID 2  48 C:   Second change end of line


let me see if I can find an online example.

Here is a blame tool with links to the edits:

here is the wikitrust tool that could be interesting :
