sponsor
Actually I misspoke. the US uses sponsor. And while the EU Council is described by Wikipedia as having legislative initiative, initiator is not used much. And while wikipedia speaks of bills, I am seeing more projects with sponsor. Presenter did not seem to have a suitable meaning, often being a TV presenter. Drafter is also used but that is the writer, not the one introducing it.

primary sponsor / joint-sponsors
This would be the primary sponsor, or in shortened form simply "sponsor." If there was more than one sponsor, they could be called joint-sponsors.
The others who "seconded" the bill but did not draft it, they would be called co-sponsors (often written as cosponsors).
