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

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
