Due to the outcome of the first part (sysop rights removal) of this on-wiki discussion
https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discussioni_Wikipedia:Amministratori#Proposta_1:_Rimozione_del_flag_nei_casi_previsti_da_parte_dei_burocrati_senza_passare_da_metawiki
I am asking for a MediaWiki InitialiseSettings.php configuration change that allows local bureaucrats to not only assign, but also remove the 'sysop' user right.
wgRemoveGroups @ '+itwiki' => [ 'bureaucrat' => [ 'rollbacker', 'autopatrolled', 'mover' ], // T55913, T102770 --> 'bureaucrat' => [ 'rollbacker', 'autopatrolled', 'mover', 'sysop' ], // T55913, T102770, T394752

The thread specifically does not discuss the interface-admin role, but only the admin right.
Just a reminder from "Limits to configuration changes":
Allow bureaucrats to remove administrator permissions
While bureaucrats on some wikis can revoke the administrator flag, at most wikis this is the responsibility of stewards. In order for this kind of request to be accepted, the wiki should be large—with multiple active bureaucrats—and be able to demonstrate a real need for the change. In smaller wikis this ability is prone to abuse by bureaucrats wishing to usurp the power of the community to decide on issues of adminship.
