We actually have a use case in the dogbowl for promotion, but
it never got implemented in a portalish way.

A first cut at that idea would be to implement a
'promoteMemberToCreator' method on your custom membership tool;
you could call it from your customized 'roster' metohd, which would
expose some UI for Managers to indicate the promotion.

We (DC) have a similar UI built for a customer, but which allows
setting the extra roles on only portions of the site;  at that point
the Zope local roles machinery takes over.
