My thinking is that there should be a revision history/list/file/comment that shows EVERYONES name, date, and details of what was done.
That would help both situations listed in the here. 
1) People would be likely to go to the last person to touch the code.
2) Debugging might be assisted, as modules touched should be in the revision history?
3) People get credit.
