The feature is currently assigned to the sysop and image-reviewer
groups. The image-reviewer group seems like a good fit since it is the
group tasked with reviewing Flickr images for copyright compliance on
Commons. Thus it would include people who know how to avoid
Flickrwashing. There is a page for requesting the image-reviewer rights
here:
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Image-reviewer
The actual user-right that is being utilized is upload-by-url. If the
Commons community wants to create a separate user group for that right,
I'm sure we could accommodate that.

I hereby celebrate that we've merged Ankur Anand's (drecodeam's) Flickr

Nice feature! Why didn't he create a group [1] so we can assign the
right to users we trust? That's the common(s) way of handling these
kind of things. That way you can slowly expand the testing group
without opening it up for everyone.
