+1 for doing it before beta1.

A few comments on the patch:

>>          Indicates an existing role that will be automatically added as a member of the new

"Specifies" would be clearer than "indicates" (not your fault, but
let's avoid the passive construction while we are here).  Likewise
nearby.

Why didn't you just translate this as 'g' instead of inventing
a new switch case?

I think clearer would be

>> +    printf(_("  -a, --with-admin=ROLE     ROLE will be a member of new role with admin\n"

Likewise

(I assume that's what this should say, it's backwards ATM)
and

>> +    printf(_("  -m, --with-member=ROLE    ROLE will be a member of new role\n"));
