Or is it better to just have one global list, and don't bother about per wiki ness?

Though, still be useful to be able to use say the private and fishbowl dblists in that format, to just enable it for all groups.... To replace wmgElevateDefaultPasswordPolicy too

I think rOMWC3ff2495bbf5a: Improve list of privileged groups (a year ago) patched up the holes in this list. (Note there is also $wmgPrivilegedGlobalGroups; instead of relying these directly, you should usually use wmfGetPrivilegedGroups().) Is there anything left to do here?
