committer

Person who acts

A committer is someone who commits—most often in version control systems like Git, where a committer is a person who submits code changes to a repository: The committer forgot to include the bug fix in the merge.

More broadly, a committer is anyone who perpetrates or carries out an act: the committer of the crime.
