  Comments:
No, the verb is 言い出す. I think as a third gloss the use of  "originated" is OK, but can be a bit broader.

"originated something" is way too wide - the verb is 言う

I don't have a problem with the "first person". Maybe this helps.

  Comments:
maybe it's just me but "first person" doesn't sound right, because it inadvertently implies that there were multiple persons who said the same thing.

it's more like "person who actually suggested/proposed it" or "person who started the (current) matter/discussion"
the old gloss "the one who brought it up" was better.
additionally, the old "the one who brings up a subject must be the first to act upon it" matches daijirin's second part which is currently ignored. ("you suggested it, you do it")
