So, how would someone with CREATEROLE permission add people to their own role, without superuser permission? Are we adding any security by preventing this?
As an encouraged design choice you wouldn't. You'd create a new group and add both yourself and the new role to it - then grant it the desired permissions.
A CREATEROLE role should probably be a user (LOGIN) role and user roles should not have members.
