Answer 1

I figured out how to do it in the Java API. It's far from elegant, but it works.

File file; // start with your file
User user = file.getLastModifyingUser();
Permission permission = service.permissions().get(file.getId(), user.getPermissionId()).execute();
String email = permission.getEmailAddress();

You can also use the RevisionList interface to get all the modifying users.
