If you need to know what program is actively using a file, try installing lsof (or get your Admins to do this).
If you want to see who modified (past tense) a file, you will need some sort of accounting or auditing enabled.
This will be trickier than you think I imagine.

wmanagerrc-update
WMANAGERRC-UPDATE(1) BSD General Commands Manual WMANAGERRC-UPDATE(1)
NAME
wmanagerrc-update -- update your wmanager settings automatically
SYNOPSIS
wmanagerrc-update
DESCRIPTION
The wmanagerrc-update program creates or updates the ~/.wmanagerrc file with a list of X11 window managers currently installed on the system.
On systems that do not have a convention for registering X window managers, wmanagerrc-update simply copies the contents of the
~/.wmanagerrc.user file to ~/.wmanagerrc.
On systems that register the installed X window managers, the wmanagerrc-update program adds all of them to the wmanager(1) configuration so
that they are available soon after installation. Currently, only Debian GNU/Linux and similar systems that use the update-alternaties(8)
mechanism are supported. Locally installed window managers and things not registered as alternatives for x-window-manager(1) can be added to
the file ~/.wmanagerrc.user in the .wmanagerrc format; see the wmanager(1) README file, usually /usr/share/doc/wmanager/README.gz, for more
information. The wmanagerrc-update program uses the entries first from ~/.wmanagerrc.user, then from the the registered window managers, in
the order of update-alternatives(8) priorities. You can override this by listing entries in wanted order in ~/.wmanagerrc.order, separated
by whitespace.
BUGS
Concurrent wmanagerrc-update processes may clobber the .wmanagerrc file.
