The VCS is keeping track of who modified which lines, so the information
is available.  Maybe the problem is that your VCS or Emacs's
presentation of it doesn't show you the info in a clear enough manner.
If you have a concrete case where the info displayed is not clear
enough, maybe we can figure out how to improve it.
