[xfrm] Discussion "update post" as the user who updated the resource, not the owner.

Addon request: Public Resource Teams​

Xenforo hides the existence of resource teams from normal users. We think this discourages teamwork.

Resource team-members should be given credit that everyone can see on these XFRM tabs:

1) Overview (everyone can see the team members)
2) Updates (everyone can see who posted which update)
3) History (everyone can see the info-icon which tells which team member posted the update)
4) Discussion (the updater is the "owner" of the automatic discussion post)

The problem: When a resource team-member works on a resource, this fact is hidden from users in several ways:

1) The overview tab contains a list of team members, but XF hides this list from normal users.
2) The updates tab shows the name of the team-member who updated the resource, but their name is hidden for non-team members / non-admins.
3) The history tab shows the name of the team-member who updated the resource on an info icon, but their name is hidden for non-team members / non-admins.
4) Worst of all, the discussion post is now made by the resource owner, not the team member who posted the update.

We'd like team-members to get public credit for the update, not the owner.

Prior to XFRM 2.2.1, the automatic discussion post was attributed to the team-member who updated the resource. Xenforo "fixed" this to hide the team-member, and now the resource owner "owns" the update post as well:

Automatic resource discussion posts made by resource team members should be attributed to the resource owner (like other actions).

Here's the change where they removed aka "fixed" the discussion post to hide the team-member,

I believe other users feel similarly: they want team-members to receive public credit for their work on a resource:

Fixed - Resource teams: invalid username in resource update message

When a team member updates a resource, the thread message displays the name of the resource's author, not the name of the user who updated it.

As designed - Resource team update references resource creator, not team member in linked thread

Duplicate - Discussion post is not made by author

If you add members to a resource team and they update the resource the discussion post is not made by them. Its posted by the original author of the resource. Maybe its by design, but in my opionion this is a bug, because the updates shows the resource team member that did the update as the...
