Looking at file /usr/share/doc/setup-*/uidgid on RHEL7, I can see some lines containing -, ? or number in parentheses:
...
nslcd 65 (55) / /sbin/nologin nslcd
wine - 66 - - wine
...
listar ? ? ? ? listar
...
Meaning of ? and - can be somehow implied, but what about the numbers in parentheses?
For example, what does (100) mean for games user, given users group has UID 100?
games 12 (100) /usr/games /sbin/nologin setup
users - 100 - - setup
Or better—is there an official explanation of the syntax?

The (100) seems to be assigning the default group of the user in /etc/passwd:
$ grep games /etc/passwd /etc/group
/etc/passwd:games:x:12:100:games:/usr/games:/sbin/nologin
/etc/group:games:x:20:
$ id games
uid=12(games) gid=100(users) groups=100(users)
