Additions are kind of hard to track. Cl_timestamp isnt really sufficient.

Basically the hard part is attributing arthurship to the category change,
especially when templates change. Categories can also change on events not
associated with an edit action. See bug 7148

If we don't care who changed which category something is in, things become a
lot easier.
