Wiki ID (as rajko_m for me) yes in history of every article, but emails are 
hidden if setup at all. It is user option to use email notifications, so if 
user don't know how to enable that, or don't want them, then all that is left 
to contact author is his User_talk:<wiki ID> page.

My comment on outdated or obsolete software wasn't about any particular title, 
including kbabel. 

It is simply about a lot of articles that still exist about old software 
versions, offering advices that are not applicable to the new version, or 
about software that is no more in distribution as upstream doesn't develop it. 
That problems are more present on language wikis then on en.o.o, but it is 
thing that we should think about. 

One bot that will parse language wikis, remember article creation time, link 
to en.o.o (or other wiki) then compare last revision date to en.o.o (or other 
wiki), can help by issuing warning that article is out of date. For instance 
by adding links to translation and original to the list of pages to review.
