Since the talks have continued in wikitech-l, I'll reply there.
I think this is a great idea and would be of great help to big local communities as well as some kind of relief for stewards. I absolutely agree that local Bureaucrats can be trusted enough to use this function wisely. On the other hand, as for the technical aspect, I concur with Rob Church - all the special pages dealing with userrights should be merged and robchurch seems to be the perfect guy for that ;)
Me and my big fucking mouth.
It'll have to wait, then. Although, wasn't Rotem Liss doing something in a branch?

Well, Werdna also displayed interest, so you just might be off the hook for now.
But this whole thing got me thinking: what we basically want is what already exists: Special:Userrights, where bureaucrats can give/revoke every userright possible.
Now if you/anyone finetune(s) that special page, and Brion gives consent, voila!
