It's at least documented at
http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/elisp/Group-Definitions.html
The argument members is a list specifying an initial set of
customization items to be members of the group. However, most often
members is nil, and you specify the group's members by using the
:group keyword when defining those members.

I tried to grep emacs sources and found the following:
(defgroup message '((user-mail-address custom-variable)
(defgroup gnus-message '((message custom-group))
(defgroup ps-print-printer '((lpr custom-group))
(defgroup customize '((widgets custom-group))
(defgroup font-lock '((jit-lock custom-group))
At least the first line corresponds exactly to what is proposed in my
patch.
