I think that you can grant membership in that role, so member role has
ability to run ALTER, DROP etc. on tables, which even doesn't own.
You can also change owner of object using ALTER TABLE for example
ALTER TABLE sometable OWNER TO new_owner, but probably previous owner
need to be granted as new_owner's member.
To grant privileges on all tables, I think you can write sql function,
which obtains list of all tables, schemas, views in database and fire
GRANT ALL for each of them.
