(From JeLuF) Adding groups should be possible. You basically need: - Group name - Group permissions (checkbox list) - Who may add users to this group (checkbox list of existing groups) - Who may remove users from this group (checkbox list of existing groups) This should be something bureaucrats should be able to handle.
CentralAuth has [[Special:GlobalGroupPermissions]], which Stewards can maintenance the global group rights. The functionality of $wgAddGroups/$wgRemoveGroups is missing. But that is a possible way, to to this.

This is a good idea, but on WMF wikis only stewards should be able to modify group rights (we have CU, OS, other private stuff). On external MediaWiki installations, the situation may be different.
