Really all one needs is:

1.  The location and format of the svn auth file (probably grep is all one really needs)
2.  A regexp with which to parse date lines.

The trouble is, if the ChangeLog ever doens't start at the top of the file, then you coudl pull the wrong author for the commit!

We may need a pre-commit hook for SVN to prevent such bad changelog edits before we could really use something like this dependably.   See bug 28291.
