Comment (by nthiery):

 I just attached proof-of-concept code I had written back in 2010 at
 the joint Sage-Combinat/Chevie days.

 Further work needed:

 - Update the existing `subgroups` methods (for permutation groups,
   matrix groups, ...) so that it accepts

 - Implement a class for subsets of an existing set, implemented by
   wrapping elements of the ambient set, as is done in my class
   ReflectionSubgroup.

 - Implement a generic default `subgroup` method using the above class,
   and passing by default the category Groups().Subobjects().

 - Implement two categories, one for reflection subgroups, and one for
   parabolic subgroups (the later being generated by a subset of the
   simple reflections). CoxeterGroups.SubObjects (or later on
   ReflectionGroups.Subobjects) is probably a good candidate for the
   latter. A name is needed for the former.

 - Plug everything together :-)
