Answer 1

You can use 'status changed by':

status = Closed and status changed by username

From the JQL documentation:

The "CHANGED" operator is used to find issues that have a value which had changed for the specified field.

This operator has the following optional predicates:

• AFTER "date"
• BEFORE "date"
• BY "username"
• DURING ("date1","date2")
• ON "date"
• FROM "oldvalue" TO "newvalue"

(Note: This operator can be used with the Assignee, Fix Version, Priority, Reporter, Resolution and Status fields only.)

Answer 2

Sorry, but the answer from Daria Trainor is not correct. You find Issues, where the status is closed and one of the transistions where made by the "username"

The correct one have to be:

status was closed BY 'username'

also possible:

status changed to Closed BY 'username'

then you also find issues, in a differnt state

if your workflow is more complex you can also limit like this:

status changed FROM Resolved to Closed BY 'username'
