Is there a community consensus for that?

You can see a started discussion here, although note that the rights are completely unnecessary and I don't see why community consensus would be required to just "clean-up" InitialiseSettings.

Agreed, these extra right grants are already granted to the sysop group. All bureaucrats are a subset of this group, so they retain the rights-granting abilities of that group. There is no current need for the bureaucrat group on enwiki to retain additional rights-granting and -revoking outside of what Music1201 has described.

The Bureaucrat group, per enwiki policy, should only have the following rights:

Add groups: Flow bots, Administrators, Bureaucrats and Bots
Remove groups: Administrators, Flow bots and Bots

Bureaucrats will only retain the rights that I described in https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T140550#2468821 , per the enwiki policy.

Bureaucrats are Wikipedia users with the technical ability to:
add the administrator, bureaucrat, account creator, reviewer, or bot user group to an account
remove the administrator, account creator, IP block exemption, reviewer, or bot user group from an account.

That's from the top of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Bureaucrats (the policy)

Change 299354 had a related patch set uploaded (by Kharkiv07):
Remove unneed permissions from enwiki bureaucrats

https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/299354

My patch removes 'move-subpages', 'suppressredirect', and 'tboverride', as that brings the permissions in-line with enwiki policy. The other two permissions ('override-antispoof' and 'noratelimit') are granted to bureaucrats across all projects, and I see no reason to remove them.

As for the adding and removing permission thing, it appears that's currently policy as explicitly written in the bureaucrat policy.

I believe the permissions listed in the bureaucrat policy are only placed there because a user found the technical status of bureaucrats at Special:ListGroupRights. I see no need to keep the permissions. The following should be the only permissions:

• override-antispoof
• noratelimit
• Add groups: Flow bots, Administrators, Bureaucrats and Bots
• Remove groups: Administrators, Flow bots and Bots

Please, only remove permissions that are specific to enwiki. Do not override defaults that apply to all wikis. This means removing

• 'move-subpages', 'suppressredirect', and 'tboverride' from groupOverrides , which are relics from the epoch when bureaucrats could rename accounts
• 'accountcreator' from wgAddGroups
• 'accountcreator' and 'ipblock-exempt' from wgRemoveGroups

Yes, I quite agree with @Ruslik0 here. Please only remove the permissions that are enwiki specific. We can discuss at a different task if the remaining noratelimit and override-antispoof can be removed from bureaucrats WMF-wikis-wide later. Thanks.

@MarcoAurelio @Ruslik0: I wasn't planning on it, I should've been more clear.

Others: Was there consensus at some point for the adding/removing the rights in questions? If there wasn't clear consensus I can remove those rights, too...

These rights were added in this community discussion: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_comment/Make_userrights_self-sufficient#Add_move-related_privileges_to_Bureaucrat so I wouldn't be so quick to remove them without a similar consensus for doing so.

I assume the global renamer facility operates agnostic to local rights?

@Xeno the premise of that prior poll "to properly carry out renames" has diminished along with the removal of the ability for local 'crats to perform renames. We certainly could poll the enwiki community and revisit this following a consensus forming for updating.

Change 299354 abandoned by Hashar:
Remove unneed permissions from enwiki bureaucrats

Reason:
Still pending consensus / discussion via T140550. Not much point in keeping this change open meanwhile.
