Why have owner in there? Isn't the clear from the filesystem metadata, which also has the benefits of shared ownership groups etc.?

The "owner" could be multiple directory levels depending the hosting service. Gitlab lets you have arbitrary sub levels. The owner of the files also isn't necessarily related to the owner of the repo on Github.

Is there then a hierarchy of owners?
