I don't think that it makes sense. The user mentioned here isn't a
remote user but the local one responsible creating the file in
question.

If you want to get the user "lanz" by default, you can change the
following line in the function I've provided last message:

        (push (list "lanz" (match-string 1 (car files))) result))

Nevertheless, new function committed to Tramp CVS.
