I think that's a good idea.

We could have pg_audit.roles = 'audit1, audit2'
so users can specify any audit roles they wish, which might even be
existing user names.

That is nice because it allows multiple completely independent
auditors to investigate whatever they choose without discussing with
other auditors.
