A client with a small team of editors has asked if it is possible to create a list of content that a specific editor has touched or edited, even if they are not the original author/owner of the content?

This would be a tool for admins/editors, not unauthenticated users.

I don't think Backdrop tracks which user has edited a node, does it? I suppose this might work, if they created a new revision. But, without revisions, is it possible?

Any contrib modules that address this need?

A module like this may also be helpful (I haven't used it, but it seems flexible enough and has views integration):

The node revision functionality fits this need really well (in fact this may be an excellent example of why revisions were created). They store the uid of the person who created the revision, and the date. And you can create Views of node revisions. Is there a reason you don't want to use that?

Backdrop currently does not have any to figure out who edited content after the fact. Any option for tracking user activity requires you to have it running before the activity occurs.

That being said, I think revisions would handle what you need for this. They can be configured in such a way so that revisions are always created, and then you can use views or a custom module to search through them and display them any way you want.
