No, this is a system administration issue.
% Several years ago I worked on a BSDi unix machine.
% The group file, as I remember, did not have an entry
% for each user. I added a user's name to the group
% that the user was to be included in.
%
% Linux (RH 5.0 k-2.0.32) seems to add an entry (new group)
% for each user into the group file.
That is done by the program you use to take all the boring work out of
adding a user. If it is a shell script (some are) you should be able to
put a default group ID (usually 100 (users)) in there, so that when you
add a new user to the machine, they will go with this default, instead
of a new group for every user.
The adduser script I have is

and depends on /usr/sbin/useradd.
