as long as the license is the same, why bother to know who made the change? for problematic topics, there is a discussion page.
Quite often, there is a line in a file (be it code or documentation, it is not really different in this case) which a few years later might seem wrong, outdated or no longer needed.
If I stumble across such a line of {code,documentation}, it is very often helpful to ask the original author what this specific piece of {code,documentation} was about, because he might remember the context.
And sometimes it is just "Oh, that was probably wrong from the beginning, just drop it", but even then the original author might know best.
In a doc, there should not be any "context specific" that is not immediately obvious, so you can change it asap. If you are uncertain of the fact, drop a note in the discussion page for others to see... it's easy and harmless to change some words in a *doc*, it's absolutely not the same for *code*, where a single comma can kill an application jdd -- http://dodin.org
