I agree it's redundant; my question is which is the preferable solution.  I
like the principle of your epic patch in bug15252 but, as you say, it's
probably too big to ever be properly reviewed.  However, regardless of
when/whether that is likely to be implemented, the two systems are *still* not
synchronised.  I'm more interested in a consistent interface for viewing and/or
editing group permissions, than on what precisely that interface is.  There are
currently a number of inconsistencies:

1) Name: [[Special:ListGroupRights]] vs [[Special:GlobalGroupPermissions]]. 
I'd argue that the name of the former is actually disingenuous: by our usual
convention, "rights"<=>"groups" rather than "rights"<=>"permissions", IMO. 
Would a rename to [[Special:GroupPermissions]] be sensible? It *shouldn't* be a
breaking change, since all potentially-breakable bots/scripts should certainly
be using the API functionality (which is actually older).  Naturally we make a
special page redirect from ListGroupRights.

2) UI layout: I can't really visualise how the interface will look without
being able to compare the source to a running version, but I can tell that it's
not the same as ListGroupRights.  It would be a Good Thing for the display to
be consistent.
