Based on this consensus in Persian Wikipedia, merging the uploader group into the confirmed and autoconfirmed is requested. The group has been added back in 2008 after the group was added to English Wikipedia, but wasn't removed in 2009 once English Wikipedia removed it.
Regards.

Event Timeline
Change 505228 had a related patch set uploaded (by Urbanecm; owner: Urbanecm):
[operations/mediawiki-config@master] Remove uploader user group from fawiki
The general reason for this proposal was removing redundancy and further improve user experience. (personally, I don't think that this right needs a separate log entry or a notification to the user, it's pretty useless to begin with :))
Yes, since the new blocking system allows for namespace-specific blocks - so taking away the uploader right isn't the only option if someone abused upload right -, there isn't a reason why autoconfirmed shouldn't be able to upload.
