On Drupal Answers, the lists of questions (e.g. active or hot questions) show the person who made edit on a question as if it was the author, so I find this quite confusing.
You can see that googletorp, kiamlaluno or Berdir are omnipresent, but in fact they don't ask question; they just edit the questions to correct presentation, tags, etc.
I think it would be better to let the original poster name there and it would be gratifying for new users to see their name instead of a moderator.
Actually, the "active," and the "hot" pages don't report who is the author of the question, but the last user who answered the question, edited the question, or edited an answer.
If you compare those pages with https://drupal.stackexchange.com/questions, you will notice that only in the latter there is a phrase like "asked 2 hours ago."
When you don't read "asked," then the reported user is not the author of the question.
asked by X 1 hour ago, answered by Y 30 mn ago.
If who asked the question would have been considered always the most important information, then all the question lists would have reported the author of the question. I totally agree to that but when there's no answer, I don't feel the editor is so important to be promoted instead of the author. This question show you in the list instead of the poster. Anyway I'm splitting hairs here ;)
