Same as always. The pilot.

Either grandma or the owner is responsible for entering the
work in a maintenance record. There is no required return to
service entry. If the work qualifies as a major modification
a properly rated pilot must make an entry after it has been tested
solo in the test area and he must include the speed W&B and load
conditions before it can take passengers or leave the test area
specified in it's ops limits.

The repairmen rating is only required to sign for the annual, not
for any maintenance or repairs.

These are standard questions required of all sport pilots.
