Are you planning to run this live in production (i.e. 1-2 seconds on
every save)?

I think people would be reluctant to slow writes down further.  You
could potentially do it deferred, or in the job queue, but I think it
might make more sense on something like Wikimedia Labs
(https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Labs)

Did you try doing it with no caching (similar to git blame, though I
know it's a different algorithm)?  I'm wondering how much benefit you
get from the cached info.
