Currently, community configuration does not check if the editing user has autopatrol right, and thus flags the edit for manual patrolling. Something similar happens for most of other editing Growth features (like "ask your mentor"), but since they're targeted at newcomers, it's less visible.
With community configuration, virtually everyone who has access to it also has autopatrol.¨
This should be probably fixed within the config writer class.

Turns out the code was already supposed to check for that, it just happened to use incorrect right name. Patch submitted.
