To the thread:
As far as the naming convention "superuser" agree super-user isn't
the best name, as it implies "root". How's "editor at-large";
keeps
focus that these are editing related activities, but that these are
rights to benefit everyone.
As to what to bundle, accountcreator shouldn't be here--it's not
content related; while these are mostly content rights.
As to who requiring a 'crat to add this; it's not requried now-why
add more overhead?
Happy editing,

Subject: [WikiEN-l] Superusers?
I was thinking, after the talk about
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Vandal_fighters which doesn't
terribly look like it's going anywhere, why don't we possibly "bundle"
a
few of the other userrights into one, such as my proposal below:
User right: "Superuser"
Rights included: rollback, autopatrolled, reviewer, accountcreator
As far as who would grant/revoke such a right, I would personally want
bureaucrats to do that job, as that is their natural-given right as
bureaucrats (to grant/revoke userrights). Some pros and cons that I
forsee:
Pros: Consolidating userrights, increasing transparency for those are
not wiki-experts, less stuff for sysops to do, less confusion
Cons: Abuse of one of the tools like rollback (as with sysops), trend
seems to be for "unbundling" rights instead of "bundling", updating
those users who aren't around anymore, dispute on procedures to grant
this (i.e. simple request, "requests for adminship"-type voting, etc.)
I'm throwing this out here to see what people would think. Any thoughts?
