Thanks for taking a look. The first isn't manageable because it requires
users to do things.

The second is what I've decided on for now, but the way that I know
which default privileges to set is to look up his group membership "by
hand" and set his default privileges on the databases where the group
should have them. I'd love it if that step could be automated.
