This could be done by using the edit page hook to detect if an article in mainspace is getting flipped from a redirect to an article, and then adding some kind of metadata to the SQL table pagetriage_page_tags with the redirect flipper's username.

Then corresponding modifications to one or two APIs, and possibly the Page Curation toolbar.

There's also interest in having the redirect flipper be displayed as the creator in the New Pages Feed. And probably also the flip date instead of the creation date. I guess T157048 would be the main ticket for that.

Perhaps I would implement this ticket first as an incremental step, then implement T157048.
