--- Comment #7 from merl <bugrepor...@to.mabomuja.de> ---
Local names for this new groups already exist on dewiki for de and en

http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Group-noratelimit
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Group-noratelimit/en
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Group-noratelimit-member

If we would reuse accountcreator and somebody use a language which we have not
translated/overwritten locally the visitor thinks that he/she could ask these
people to create accounts. But members of these groups will mostly not know
about how to do this. Overriding all messages locally is nearly impossible.
They want to have this right to send mass mails or other use cases. The new
name is also very general so that other wikis could use in future, too.

So having a new german name with an english fallback name locally should fit
the first requirements. The display names i used for the local messages were
discussed by bureaucrats internally last year, but could be changed by
community later.

Of course to have these massages new in translatewiki would be great.
