make makeplist may be of help to you, as it would allow you to assign ownership in
large chunks, thusly:

@a:b:c
this
that
...
theother
@d:f:e
somefile
...
another
bunch
of
files
@other:owner:group:perms
thesefiles
...
thosefiles

This all assumes that the files are grouped as you need them tho. :-)
