As far as the naming convention "superuser" agree super-user isn't the best name, as it implies "root". How's "editor at-large"; keeps focus that these are editing related activities, but that these are rights to benefit everyone. As to what to bundle, accountcreator shouldn't be here--it's not content related; while these are mostly content rights. As to who requiring a 'crat to add this; it's not requried now-why add more overhead?
