In Wikibase, we define some additional permissions (e.g. property-create) and assign some default permissions for $wgGroupPermissions['*']. Wikibase and other extensions are loaded after groupOverrides are handled in CommonSettings. Thus, the defaults override the groupOverrides. We work around it by setting this again in common settings after the extension is loaded, and I see this being done in a few other places for other stuff. Unless there is good reason for doing things the current way (?), I think groupOverrides should be processed at the end of CommonSettings and maybe even factor this bit of code into a separate file in wmf-config.
