If I'm not mistaken such a list wouldn't/shouldn't imply that
separating jobs relies on assigning one job per person (wow, why do my
fingers insist typing "mob" instead of "job" this morning???)

It *might* be misleading someone to think your effort would go in that
direction of a strictly formalized working environment, but a) we don't
have so many people for so many jobs and b) of course many people can
do much more than one task of such a list.
But such a detailed "job description" would probably be very helpful
when thinking about a possible improvement/solution/patch: What do I
want, what is needed to achieve it, which parts can I do myself, for
what exactly do I need assistance?
