When a transition is scheduled, the user under this transition is the user who runs cron (usually anonymous). The expected behavior is the user who sets the transition.

I agree with jcisio. Seeing 'anonymous' show up in revisions is worrisome.

Yes I agree too, this is needed.

Although strictly speaking cron (as anonymous) is running the transition, it would be nice if the user that scheduled the transition was listed.

This requires quite a bit of work because right now, as far as I can tell, the info is not kept: the workflow_scheduled_transition table does not keep track of the uid that submitted the transition...

Marking this as a feature request instead of a bug...

I wish there was a nicer way to clear the issue queue from 'D6-issues that are fixed in D7' then a "won't fix for D6."

I know that it will never get committed, but as I have to fix it for my site, I share the patch here.
