Why not just edit the files by hand, it really is not that difficult, you only have /etc/group, /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow. For large companies most of them are using NFS and NIS so this makes it really easy.

To code above is bourne shell code and the new lines are intended.
You may replace the new lines with `;' ...
find directory | while read f ; do setfacl -m $(getfacl "$f" | grep user | sed
s/user/group/) "$f"; done
Or within a shell script
#!/bin/sh
find ${1+"$@"} | while read f
do
m=$(getfacl --omit-header "$f" 2> /dev/null | sed -n 's/user/group/p')
test -n "$m" || continue
setfacl -m $m "$f"
done
