Description
Currently the link tooltip shows things like the issue title, summary, branch, labels and milestone, but there is no indicator of who created the issue/PR. The task here is to modify the tooltip component to include the author.

Contributor guide
First steps
- Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.
- Comment on the issue to say you are picking it up — it saves two people doing the same work.
- Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
- Open a pull request that references the issue number.
Research direction
Start by locating the GitHub link tooltip component and tracing how it assembles issue and pull-request metadata. Add the creator information to the tooltip and verify that the author appears for both issues and pull requests; the payload does not name a file or test to run.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
