The type `<filetype>` argument for `mate -t` is indeed the grammar’s 
root scope that you find by grepping the property lists.

You can also find this value either in the bundle editor, select a 
language grammar and it is the “Grammar” field in the drawer, 
alternatively, if you open a file of the desired type, press ⌃⇧P and 
a tool tip shows with the full scope of the insertion point, the first 
line is the grammar’s root scope, and what to use for `mate -t`.

There is no full list because it would depend on what bundles you have 
installed/created. But I guess it wouldn’t be bad if there was a way 
for `mate` to query the list of installed bundles. I’ve added a note 
about this, although the effort to implement this is probably not 
proportional with the benefit.
