To me it means that the application is in control of what appears in the
jumplist, not necessarily that it is responsible for specifying the
exact set of items. So I can imagine some "gnome-recent-items" action
which is translated appropriately by the shell if included in
the .desktop file, but I would not expect anything in the jumplist if
the application does not specify anything.

I don't agree with the notion that "jumplist == recently/frequently used
files" - for instance for Evolution, I would expect actions like "New
mail" or "Open calendar", but not a list of recently read emails
cluttering the list (even when that data is available in
gtkrecent/zeitgeist).
