notification to file creator

Can anyone explain who the file creator is?  This pertains to the notification option in the attached screenshot...

Is the file creator the originator of the file for each revision, version, or for the whole file itself?  I would like a notification sent to the person who edited the file in a previous state (WIP).  I don't think file creator classifies as this, but what is it.  As usual, the help is not helpful.
