[Sorry for the delay, there were some problems with the mailing list.]
No, there is currently no way to quickly remove all instances of a
specific author in page revisions, you can either hide all authors, or
remove/drop all authors.
It is possible to protect the "diff" action, see FAQ at:
https://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/PmWiki/PageHistory
It is possible to hide all authors and IP addresses by setting a
variable in config.php:
$DiffStartFmt =
"<div class='diffbox'><div class='difftime'><a name='diff\$DiffGMT'
href='#diff\$DiffGMT'>\$DiffTime</a>
\$[by] <span class='diffauthor'
title='\$DiffHost'>\$DiffAuthor</span> - \$DiffChangeSum</div>";
The above is the default snippet; removing this part:
\$[by] <span class='diffauthor' title='\$DiffHost'>\$DiffAuthor</span>
will hide the IP address \$DiffHost and the name \$DiffAuthor from the
history listings, without dropping that information from the page data
file.
It is possible to drop all page history from a specific page or group,
install the recipe ExpireDiff:
https://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Cookbook/ExpireDiff
It is possible to never store history, or only for a short time, see and
please understand the documentation for the variables $DiffKeepNum and
$DiffKeepDays:
https://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/PmWiki/EditVariables
BTW I keep track of the edits of individual users with a variant of this
recipe:
https://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Cookbook/Authorcontribution-OldVersion
See also $RCLinesMax in case you have set this variable, a prolific
editor can easily make a lot of edits and you can lose her track:
https://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/PmWiki/LayoutVariables#RCLinesMax
There is currently no tool/recipe to drop or pseudonymize specific
author names, but I may have to write one for a large wiki I maintain,
if/when some editor asks for this. Obviously, for documents with many
co-authors like a wiki page, I am not certain how this can be done while
at the same time the authorship and copyright are also respected, and
the people stay accountable for the things they wrote.

Pmwiki allows authors to sign an article/change. I know that's not
required, but I want to be prepared in case someone who did put that
