Perhaps this works:

<txp:php>
  echo safe_field('name', 'txp_discuss', '1=1 ORDER BY posted DESC LIMIT 1');
</txp:php>

or

<txp:php>
  echo get_author_name(safe_field('name', 'txp_discuss', '1=1 ORDER BY posted DESC LIMIT 1'));
</txp:php>

Ruud, don’t you know what your own TXP can do? ;)

In the article form:

<txp:if_comments>
[<txp:comments_count />] Latest comment by <txp:comments form="poster" sort="posted desc" limit="1" />
</txp:if_comments>

Form ‘poster’ (type: comment):

<txp:comment_name link="0" />

(edited to remove id attribute that was still in Textbook, but apparently doesn’t exist anymore and is not needed anymore)
Edit 2: hmm… Textbook shows those id attributes (that disappeared after 4.0.5) for more comment tags, I’d better tidy up a bit…
