I haven’t seen anything in the [release category](https://meta.discourse.org/c/releases) that suggests something like this is coming.

I see you already found the topic on other permission schemes people that would like to see here:

This topic looks similar to what you want but I couldn’t tell if you had seen it (It is much easier to find where you have been if you like posts that you support):

> Hello all, We just got discourse for our new website and were wondering if there was a way to create other staff positions with different permissions besides Administrator and Moderator. i.e: Super Moderator; Super Administrator; etc. If not then whatever, not the end of the world, but it would be nice considering the original plan for the forum that we were going to implement.

Edit: Likewise with this topic:
