Here is a beginning of a rcs plugin that uses rcsmerge, rcs, ci, co and rlog.
I have used it probably over hundred times but needs some work.

[[tag patch]]

Clearly needs some cleanup and perhaps some of the missing stubs
implemented, before it can be included into ikiwiki.
Notes on individual functions:


rcs_prepedit - I'm not sure why you do the locking since the comment
notes that the locking does no good..


rcs_getctime - You ask why this would be better than mtime. It's
because with something like subversion, a file's modification time or
ctime is not necessarily accurate WRT when the file was first checked
into the repo.

Also here is a quick script to browse the RCS history to use for "historyurl".
