Comment:
Not sure if there's much that can be done. How can we be sure that the
contributor (or author, editor, ...) role exists on the blog being
imported to? As far as I can see isn't it the current behaviour best; let
wp_insert_user set the role as the blog default.
Maybe a more prominent notice in the importer about changing the role as
well as other author information.
