Usually I'd do a reported-by for whoever actually looked at the test system, triaged the issue and reported it. Trying to credit test authorship separately to the testsuite gets cumbersome over time, tests get updated over time for a range of reasons (toolchain updates, adding more coverage, improvements in the testsuite's frameworks...) so it's often not just a single person. Hopefully the testsuite is keeping track of things well enough so mentioning the test will point people in the right direction.
