The majority of the Maelstrom consists of the main Lominsan Armada which are the Knights of the Barracuda. Pirate gangs play an important part, but is not what the Maelstrom is primarily made up of as far as I'm aware. It is also never really specified how high they are in the chain of command, but I honestly doubt a pirate gang is close to commanding more than the fleet they are a part of.
Rhoswen is also a female Hyur Midlander, not a Roegadyn!
What we really know about those two pirate gangs is a bit limited however. The Sanguine Sirens are indeed an all-female crew that own the Missing Member in Limsa Lominsa. That being said, they did have one male member in their crew back in 1.0 who used to infiltrate the Barracuda during Sthallman's grand scheme of becoming Admiral.
The Kraken's Arms have very little information aside from the fact we know that they control most of the spice trade and that Captain Carvallain might have blood-ties in Ishgard. We don't know for certain the Kraken's are responsible for bringing all that wildlife to Vylbrand but a lot of La Noscean creatures originate from the east. I recall Dodo's come from some island just east of Thanalan and coeurl, I think originate from Thavnair.
It is also worth noting that both crews used to frequently use the Astalicia and former illegitimate Marauder's Guild, founded by One-Eyed Hyllfyr, leader of the Bloody Executioners. They are currently known to be the most powerful pirate gang and have a lot of sway over what other pirate crews do.
