Re: [platform-ui-dev] Is "Show annotations" in the ruler a descriptive name for our users?

"blame" is the standard term used in some version control systems, for example Perforce. In this context it is used figuratively and doesn't imply that the code is bad. My vote is for Show Blame Annotations, but if you want to be politically correct, other possible terms to consider are "provenance", "attribution", and "authorship".
