How to log and display all the users that have edited a node (without revisioning)? We need to keep the usernames of the latest editors of content, along with the edit date.

How can we do so? Or should we use custom code?

We do not want to enable revisioning, as it is more complex than we want.
The Activity module does some user activity logging that may covert your need.


  The Activity module keeps track of the things people do on your site
  and provides mini-feeds of these activities in blocks, in a
  specialized table, and via RSS. The module is extensible so that any
  other module can integrate with it. The messages that are produced are
  customizable via the admin interface and are context sensitive. Some
  theoretical example messages include:
