A question on group permission.

I have long been feeling an inconvenience about a group permission.
Suppose a user alice has a private file "foo" that she want to be read by bob.
She cannot
        chgrp bob foo
because she is not a member of bob.
Thus she must ask her host owner to create a group so that both alice
and bob be members of the group.
Is this inconvenient?
If host owner is in travel, she must wait until host owner comes back!

Is there any problem if alice can
        chgrp bob foo
even if she is not a member of bob?
