Yuck.  Please do not force --multi_word_opt upon us, which is simply
too ugly to live around here.  --module-list is perhaps OK, but
because submodule--helper would not have an default action, I'd
prefer to make these just "command words", i.e.

    $ git submodule--helper module_list

Up to this point it interprets its input, and ...

... does the computation, with diagnosis.

And then it does the I/O with formatting.

When you have the implementation of "foreach-parallel" to move the
most expensive part of "submodule update" of a tree with 500
submodules, you would want to receive more or less the same "args"
as this thing takes and pass the ce_entries[] list to the "spawn and
run the user script in them in parallel" engine.

So I think it makes more sense to split this function into two (or
three).  One that reads from (argc, argv) and allocates and fills
ce_entries[] can become a helper that you can reuse later.  

'int module_list()' (shouldn't it be static?), can make a call to
that helper at the begining of it, and the remainder of the function
would do the textual I/O.
