It is as simple as:

Creating a table with the fields you need (in this case, as I said, 
'changed_by'), and a 'nid' to tie it to the node table.

Implementing hook_nodeapi

for 'insert' and 'update' events, writing the appropriate information
(in this case, putting $user->uid into changed_by)

for 'load' events loading the appropriate information.

And do the rest via theming.

It is as simple as I say (not imply).
