As for the "lock database" of the developers: as far as I understand, there is no developer permission in the downloaded MediaWiki (it's an extension, I think, and so is the permission to lock databases), and the "lock database" affects talk pages as well as content pages.
"developer" is a more or less unused permission which is required to access Special:Lockdb and Special:Unlockdb. Neither of those are what's desired.
