Revision function displays incorrect user

[bl968]

After editing a pending review post in wordpress the revisions show up as the author and not the person who actually edtied the post. My userid is Bill Larson and the revisions I made appear below.

I'm having the same issue also with already published posts.
See ​http://wordpress.org/support/topic/189156

This applies to posts originally created under WP 2.5 and edited under WP 2.6, as well as to posts created under WP 2.6 and edited under WP 2.6.
The author names in the post revision history won't change from the original author despite being logged in as (and editing the post as) a different user.

Same problem here : when I edit a post from someone else, it is his/her name which appears in the revision.

In an attempt to track who did what, we're currently versioning the post_author field: storing how the author has changed over time. This is the wrong thing to do and is causing this bug.

We should instead be storing the user_id of the person who made the revision in the post_author field.

Attached.

(In [8480]) Store current user rather than original post author when saving revisions. Props mdawaffe. fixes #7317 for trunk
