## Description

**As a** user,  
**I want** webhooks to explicitly indicate who caused a change,  
**so that** I can write automations based on the webhooks that can act based on the user doing an update.

### Acceptance criteria

*   Webhooks are extended by an `actor` key that indicates who caused a give change (e.g. author for creations or "updater" for updates)
    
*   `actor` is a JSON object generated through a regular API user representer
    

### Example

```json
{
  "action": "updated",
  "actor": { ... },
  "work_package": { ... }
}
```
