Enable ruwiki sysops to add users to the `confirmed` group
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

On Russian Wikipedia, please enable sysops to add users to the confirmed group (and to remove users from that group). If this is done, this right can be revoked from bureaucrats (they are all admins anyway).
