Kind of opposing this because:

1. Bugzilla has a reporter field.
2. The request is now, if I understood this correctly, to add
   reported-by field to all people who have left a comment.
3. There is a field for the reporter, which points out to a single
   person. Why all the possible commenters and not the creator
   of the report?
