I bet you money that 5 years from now this will be renamed to "attribute" or "authorship".

Jetbrain's IDEs label it as "annotate".

Though, I suspect that's intended as a generalization of the various VCS options they support.

I do think it'd be good to move away from the negative connotation associated with blame. I want to know who to ask about some code, not who to blame for it breaking.

Annotate is used in Mercurial (and probably others).

CVS called it annotate back in the 90s.

Care to take the bet then? 5 years to get 'blame' renamed?

No, but, if you remember, then you've got documented bragging rights when it happens.
