Comment (by mdawaffe):

 Cool.  Let's work on one bug at a time.  Smaller, focused patches will
 move forward more quickly.

 The most important thing to fix is the revisions' authorship.  Once we
 have that done, we can look at any UI/UX issues.

 I'm working on a patch that moves the revision version data to post_name.
 We already take that field over for revisions.

 The patch also takes a different approach in displaying the correct author
 (one that won't poison any persistant caches), and will have a way to
 upgrade each revision row.  I'm not yet sure when we should call that
 upgrade function.

 I'll get the patch up this weekend or Monday.
