The Credential Manifest specifies an issuer property, showing who created it. A Credential Application does not show who the applicant is outside of the credential(s) they provide that may include their identifier. Similarly, a Credential Response has an application_id which shows which application it is responding to, but no mention of who the applicant is.
I'd like to propose a change to add an applicant field to both Credential Applications and Credential Responses to make it explicit the parties involved in the interaction.
