Yes, I guess something like a "-m" option would be good to specify that the e-mails being added with the "-a" option are moderators. Right now I have switched to using the REST API as it has all features I need, great work btw!

The CLI I built as part of GSoC 2014 supports the above features

It is based on the REST API.

To Add moderators you can do

./mmclient add-moderator list list at domain.org --user a at b.com b at c.com ...
Similarly to add owners do
./mmclient add-owner list list at domain.org --user a at b.com b at c.com
 
To add normal members

./mmclient subscribe user user1 at bar.com user2 at bar.com --list list at domain.org
You might want to install the PLY library [https://pypi.python.org/pypi/ply/3.4] to test the CLI fully.
