You're mixing up two different things.

Each patch has an "Author" field and a "Reviewers" field. These are
displayed on both the CF summary page (in the columns with those
names) and on the patch detail page (in the rows with those names).
They are text fields, so they display whatever someone types into
them.

Each *comment* on a patch has an author also. This is also displayed
on both the CF summary page (for the most recent 3 comments) and on
the patch detail page (for all comments) and the authorship
information is automatically populated from the user's login.

It would be possible to display both of these using the same format if
that information is available in the community login database and can
be replicated into the CF database, but currently I don't have it.
