Use Cases
Note: I suggest using log_namespace for this as it sounds less intrusive, but maybe a function like get_file_owner(path) could do ?
Similar to OTEL Collector filereceiver , the feature would be to include in the file source namespace the file owner and group.

Proposal
Currently (from what I tested) the namespace only holds host, offset and path.
The proposition would be to add owner and group to this to have more context on the file being ingested.
