Retrieve only users that have created or edited an issue

Question

We're looking at merging two JIRA instances, and we're using a custom authenticator on one of the instances that means we can't do a straightforward query for user logins (the way we're doing things means the JIRA DB is not storing user instances).

However, we can see user activity.

What's the best way (mySQL) to retrieve only users that have created or edited an issue, returning the username, issue, and timestamp of last creation (or last edit) in something like M/D/Y TT format?

If you are looking for the create, then you are looking for the reporter column in the jiraissues table. Though, a reporter can be edited which brings us to the edit action.

You will find the change history in the changegroup and one changegroup has many changeitems.
