 * Isn't the ability to make configuration changes already assigned by fiat? The communities currently don't elect anyone to make changes to InitialiseSettings.php or CommonSettings.php. Also, don't sysops already have power to mess up technical stuff, e.g. by editing MediaWiki:Common.css or one of the high-risk templates? If they don't have enough restraint to refrain from changing what they don't understand, especially when it's clearly marked as a potential source of disruption if changed, then they can be de-sysopped.

The extension should also have a configuration setting that, when enabled, will cause redirects to automatically be created when they are created on Wikipedia. So, suppose there is a John Maynard Keynes article on both Wikipedia and the local wiki. If someone creates a new redirect of John Keynes to John Maynard Keynes on Wikipedia, that same redirect should also be automatically created on the local wiki.
