Hi Guillaume, I'm not sure that it's a good idea to manage all local users in a same group given the fact that you may have different subwikis: you will loose information about these members (you know they are locals but you don't know from which subwiki). Why not using a XWiki.XWikiAllGroup page in each subwiki (only when there is local_user in userScope)? Just an idea, maybe I don't understand all the implications.
