Hi.
People sending messages to hundreds or thousands of users, potentially across hundreds of Wikimedia wikis, ought to be familiar with standard practices such as signing posts with a regular timestamp. If users are unfamiliar with these practices, they probably should not be using the MassMessage tool. Or, at minimum, they should be carefully reading the user documentation, as instructed. :-)

Currently the actual creator is added as a (HTML source code) comment (your link to the diff shows "User:Matiia@metawiki"). It's not too obvious and I'd also prefer real user names, for accountability.
I think you're referring to https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T71954 ("Add support to MassMessage to allow using the sender's username for deliveries")?
