So please explain me how you do it, because I can't.
When a file is created, it is given the owner of its creator and the
default group of its creator. For it to be "in" another group, chgrp must
be called to set that group.
Not necessarily. If you make the directory owned by a particular group
and then set the sgid bit on the directory (chmod g+s /path/to/dir) then
new files created in that directory will have the same group as the
directory itself by default.
