Would a dev mind doing it if the french community decide to organize it?
In part, it's a pretty long-standing request: bureaucrats should be able to assign more limited groups, such as users who can only roll back edits, not just sysop/bureaucrat. It shouldn't be too hard to do, but none of us has done it yet, and several wikis have already asked.
The second part, limited blocking interface, is not currently on anyone's agenda, and while you might get lucky and find a dev willing to write an extension and a shell user willing to enable it, I don't think it's likely to happen for a single wiki's request, even one of the larger wikis, since it's a) not trivial to write, and b) probably not going to be viewed as a very useful extension. Sorry.
