If you just want show some info about requestor in the ticket history 
page then it's easier to create new masson component. Something like 
html/Ticket/Elements/RequestorInfo.

If you know how to get info from CurrentUser and put it into CustomField 
from Scrip code then you only need to copy html layout from another 
similar component and put code from scrip into it. Easy task.

Nevermind would you try to use Attributes or CFs in both cases you 
duplicate data that means your DB grows faster that also means your DB 
works slower.
