I find:
exiftool 150530_100455_dsg_9114_dt.jpg |grep ^Creator
Creator                         : Patrick B. Shanahan
<p...@wahoo.no-ip.org>

and:
exiftool 150530_100455_dsg_9114_dt.jpg |grep ^Software
Software                        : darktable 1.7.0.1434460913.bfbfd33

"Creator" was applied when imported.  Note that it is not in the nef/raw
file as Darktable does not alter originals, but in the xmp file:

   <dc:creator>
    <rdf:Seq>
     <rdf:li>Patrick B. Shanahan &lt;p...@wahoo.no-ip.org&gt; </rdf:li>
    </rdf:Seq>
   </dc:creator>
                    
Really "might be you again"  :)
