Description

Right now, synced comments from Linear are posted in the name of the integrating user.

To avoid confusion, the name of the Linear user should appear in the comment, either in the footer alongside "synced from Linear" or somewhere else.

Ideally, comments wouldn't be posted on behalf of the integrating user but rather by the linear-sync.com application. (e.g. so the integrating user's name and avatar doesn't show up at all for a comment that doesn't involve them.) But this is a stretch goal, I think :)

Research direction

No files or tests are named; start by tracing the code that creates GitHub comments from Linear comments and identify how the synced comment text is assembled. Done means the Linear username is visible in the posted comment, with the separate application-identity idea treated as a stretch goal.
