The feature is currently assigned to the sysop and image-reviewer groups. The image-reviewer group seems like a good fit since it is the group tasked with reviewing Flickr images for copyright compliance on Commons. Thus it would include people who know how to avoid Flickrwashing. There is a page for requesting the image-reviewer rights here: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Image-reviewer
The actual user-right that is being utilized is upload-by-url. If the Commons community wants to create a separate user group for that right, I'm sure we could accommodate that.

I hereby celebrate that we've merged Ankur Anand's (drecodeam's) Flickr integration work into UploadWizard, and that administrators on Commons can now upload photos directly from Flickr. See https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=28731 .
Nice feature! Why didn't he create a group [1] so we can assign the right to users we trust? That's the common(s) way of handling these kind of things. That way you can slowly expand the testing group without opening it up for everyone.
