Yes, usually when one person authors a patch to fix a problem reported
by someone else, a Reported-by tag is added to credit that reporter.
When it's the same person as the one who authors the patch, it's not
needed.

No, this will happen automatically once the fix is considered for
backporting by the stable team, and the cve team decides which fixes
need a CVE. The process is described here: Documentation/process/cve.rst.
