- add OBSOLETE for GiveRollback, Makebot, Makesysop, and Oversight
I might be wrong, but it seems to me that Oversight does a lot more than provide an interface for adding a new group. It adds the functionality -- the hiderevision right doesn't exist in core. In fact, Oversight doesn't provide an interface for adding the right at all, and is completely unaffected by the Userrights improvements, isn't it? Oversight was always added by stewards using Special:Userrights.

Maybe, but
1) That's not what the OBSOLETE notice says, so I assume that wasn't the intent, and that this was an error.
2) rev_deleted is not ready for production use or, at least, is not enabled on any Wikimedia site, last I checked (not counting testwiki). It is certainly not obsolete until the new feature is at least possible to use.

With the new developers coming in this year, I'm optimistic that a bunch of eternally pending projects will get completed. But as far as I'm aware there's still no schedule on anything, and probably won't be until actual work commences on the particular thing.
It would be committed right now if someone had time to review it. That is the bottleneck.

And if we get more paid developers to take the load off Brion, maybe he'll have time to review it. Or will hire another senior developer with time to review it. I assume that any reviewer would have *some* issues with it, though, that would need to be fixed. It's rather too large a project to not have any flaws be found on review.
