In WMF projects removing rights is restricted to stewards and developers. IMO
This request cannot be processed.

Its restricted to stewards for obscure historical reasons. Several projects already do this.

For Rob:
This would change
'+simplewiki' => array(

'bureaucrat' => array( 'bot', 'rollbacker', 'flood', ), 'sysop' => array( 'rollbacker', 'ipblock-exempt' ),

),

to

'+simplewiki' => array(

'bureaucrat' => array( 'bot', 'rollbacker', 'flood', 'sysop', 'bureaucrat' ), 'sysop' => array( 'rollbacker', 'ipblock-exempt' ),

),

in the wgRemoveGroups array

Per the above request, the change is now live to allow 'crats to remove sysop rights from accounts on simplewiki. This is removal only, not add. This is now live on the project.

+sysop, if that's what you mean?

Not sure what he meant there. Anyways, http://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:ListGroupRights :

Bureaucrats:

1. Add groups: Administrators, Bureaucrats, Bots and Rollbackers
2. Remove groups: Bots, Flooders, Rollbackers and Administrators

So seems to all set.
