Enhacement request. Please allow renaming of global groups. The only way of doing it right now is by removing all permissions of the group and recreating it under a new name, having later to move all users from one group to the another. Thank you!

Hoo man also did this in Gerrit change 53123, abandoned my change and reassigned this bug to him.
I don't know if the proposed code already does it, but please note that if a global group is renamed the users in the renamed global group should pass from the former group to the new. Best regards.

Sure, that's part of my proposed change.
Problem:
The feature capitalizes the first letter, which was not desired. All db groups are in lowercase. Can that be fixed, please?
Best regards.
Also, it'd be good if past log history of the global group weren't lost. At https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:GlobalGroupPermissions/Apihighlimits-requestor there's only logged the change of today, but the log history of when the user was called API_High_Limits_Requestor isn't logged in the new page; you have to search it manually in the logs.
