No offense intended, I saw this on twitter yesterday, and honestly, I didn't get it.
First off, ansible-galaxy is already a command line tool help manage (create, stub out, and download ansible roles). ansible-galaxy is already open source as a command line tool, and it's not galaxy specific (just named as such). We do welcome contributions, but would like to talk about syntax and usage first a bit. Some of the things we've talked about was supporting private git repos. Contributions have been slight, however. Things like "run a shell command inside each role directory" seem really abstract to me, and I had difficulty following the documentation to understand why I would want to do the above things listed on the PyPi page. I don't know what "rebuild a role" would mean. Roles don't have to be built. Travis integration doesn't seem to make sense because it's a very limited environment for running integration tests. So, yeah, I'd rather have seen this as a discussion for what facilities are lacking in the /usr/bin/ansible-galaxy tool, and perhaps one of those might have been a "--list-roles" subcommand, that could use something like your stats output. I'm still not understanding things like "run" or "rebuild".
