On the chapter wiki se.wikimedia.org we would like to be able to upload zip-files, to be able to host mainly source files for print material (such as scribus files and indesign files). To prohibit any files to be uploaded we would like to change the rights for upload, so that only administrators are able to do that. On the wiki, only employees or board members are administrators. Since it is a chapter wiki, now consensus is needed, see: https://se.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia:Mediawiki_Extension_Policy
So you'd like 'medlem' to lose the upload/reupload/reupload-shared suite of rights, and 'sysop' to gain them? Additionally, it appears that the "application/zip" MIME type is blacklisted on WMF wikis. The easiest way to override this would be to add sewikimedia to $wmgPrivateWikiUploads, which would allow about 30 additional file types (including ZIP) to be uploaded. (search for wmgPrivateWikiUploads in http://noc.wikimedia.org/conf/highlight.php?file=CommonSettings.php)
Change 116057 had a related patch set uploaded by TTO: Allow more upload file types for sewikimedia sysops https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/116057

Should be working now! Please give it a try.
It works fine!
