Based on comment above the linked code it is intentional to send the
user id and project id of the _owner_ of the instance. Still I
understand the need to know which user initiated the reboot action.
Therefore I opened a blueprint to do this as a new addition to the
versioned instance action notifications

Title:
[Newton] Nova notifications do not show the user which initiates the
event.
Status in OpenStack Compute (nova):
Invalid
Bug description:
Description
===========
Nova event notification does not show the actual user who initiated the
event, instead show the owner of the VM.
Steps to reproduce
==================
1. Create a tenant "test-tenant".
2. Create two users; an admin "test-admin" and a SSO user "test-user"
3. Create a VM from "test-user"
4. Reboot the VM created in #3 from "test-admin"
Event notification show "test-user" in the events. It should rather
show "test-user".
This is because while generating the event notification payload,
information from instance is used instead of context information.
Code wise, in this line
https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/808d36475103e373f1deb3344b6829ce68d6cdd5/nova/notifications/base.py#L432
Here we use:
user_id=instance.user_id
Should'nt we use, user that has come from context, something like
user_id=context.user_id
