Description

We need to expose a way so users can identify users/groups that share ownership of topic. We discussed adding this as part of https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-2035 and agreed that it will be simpler to add owner as a logconfig.

The owner field can be used for auditing and also by authorization layer to grant access without having to explicitly configure acls.
