Problem to solve

Currently, when a pipeline creation event (for a release for example) sends out a notification via the GitLab Slack App, the notification messaging will contain the user that triggered the pipeline, in brackets.

A user has requested the ability to configure these kinds of notifications so that the Slack notification shows the actual source commit author instead, particularly in cases where pipelines may be triggered by bot users but it's more desirable to see the actual source commit author.
