Worklists have the portal object as context object against which roles
are checked. Thus, the above restricts the action to the "Owner"
of the portal.

I think (am almost sure) that Flaurent extended the guards in CMF 1.3
to allow for dynamic values in guard expressions.
I expect (though I am not sure), that you can use something like:

  Creator: %(user)s

You need CMF 1.3, at least...
