-who option

Hi LUGers,

As the people who were around back when OSS started in earnest start keeling over, we should formalize our history. I propose we have a “-who” option for Linux commands which documents the history and people related to each command. 

For example “ls” would get a new option “ls -who” which would provide a history of the command and the people behind it.

I can get the effort started by hitting a few well known ones and we can all comment on it. Then we can ask maintainers add the dash option to their projects.
