Indeed it is only API documentation and the label of
the user column on
the administration view Special:GatherLists so it isn't something *widely*
visible.
I'm fine with renaming it to whatever you guys feel is appropiate.
I've created a phab task to track this on the current sprint, we can
continue conversation there
Thanks!

I'm guessing it's one of these:
alex@alex-laptop:~/Development/MediaWiki/extensions/Gather (master)$
grep -i owner i18n/en.json
"gather-lists-collection-owner": "Owner",
"apihelp-gather-param-owner": "Owner of the collections to search for. If
omitted, defaults to current user.",
alex@alex-laptop:~/Development/MediaWiki/extensions/Gather (master)$
grep gather-lists-collection-owner includes/* -R
includes/specials/SpecialGatherLists.php: . Html::element( 'span',
array(), wfMessage( 'gather-lists-collection-owner' ) )
So I'm guessing this is at
https://test.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:GatherLists - the first column
shows as "Owner" in English.
It also shows up in the API.

Hi Amir,
I want to help on this, but am not sure where this shows up. Can you
refer us to where in the interface owner appears?
Thanks,

Hi,
I am translating Gather, and I feel very uncomfortable about the term
"Owner".
It's challenging to translate, because in the languages I care about -
Hebrew and Russian - it requires gender. Now gender can be added without
too much technical effort, but there's still the general feeling of
discomfort - "owner" is a strong word in the Wikimedia world, which should
usually be avoided without a good reason.
Was this word chosen intentionally, to show that lists are, in fact,
owned, and privately curated?
Maybe it could be changed to something like "maintainer", "curator"
or
something else? Or simply "User"?
