Doesn't one usually look at the help of the tool they are using? How does one know what it does by default?

This is indeed not good and there is room for improvement.

I don't think so. There is a common sense rule in play. By default get_maintainer.pl shows the roles of the people, so, when one puts the name at least they may read what the role of the recipient in question. If I see too many people in the list (let's say 4+), I definitely will start looking for the explanation why.
