I don’t think that the attribution is of interest to most users. It doesn’t strike me as something that is as important as name and time, the other two pieces of information displayed in the stream. Showing it among other less important information – namely on the details pane or individual page – seems sensible to me. I can understand how developers might not be happy about it but I think Twitter would be ill-advised to eschew sensible changes for the users because of what amounts to politics.
