The reporter is the person raising the request. The one it belongs to in terms of "who wants something done"
(This is usually the same as the person creating the issue, but not always - you can create issues on behalf of someone else. Later versions of JIRA have a "creator" field for "person doing the data entry)
What is the definition of the role of "Reporter"?
Since which Jira version is the field creator there?
