Idea

Currently it's possible to see all the different file versions and when they have been created. Unfortunately it's not shown who created a version.

As follow-up to #382 and to complete the user story, being able to identify who the "colleague, who changed a file" actually is, this would require to show which user has created a version, to find out who can be contacted in case of questions about a file change.

Unfortunately it's not shown who created a version.

that is possible to see in the Activity, but probably not very convenient.

[schweigisito]

Yes. But you would have to compare timestamps to find out which activity matches which version - which is also not that convenient as the versions section shows relative times (you would have to hover over each time to se the absolute time) while the activities show absolut times.

The relevant propfind doesn't contain this information in the response. If we want to proceed, we need a backend implementation.
