The plan appears to be to do this, maybe it just hasn't happened yet:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Creation_of_separate_user_group_for_edi...
That did happen; I just wasn't aware that list does not go to all wikis. There doesn't seem to be a distribution list that includes all wikis but prefers technical discussion spaces over nontechnical ones so I have set up https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Distribution_list/Nonechnical_Village_Pumps_... and sent out a notice to the wikis I missed in the first round.

Unfortunately there is, as attacks based on MediaWiki: namespace editing privileges have been a regular occurrence in the last few months. The last somewhat successful one was less than a week ago.
