Comment:

 I would also really like to see custom capabilities for managing media.

 In my case I've got a CPT with custom capabilities. The role only has
 permission to view/edit/delete these CPT items, but must also be able to
 manage media items (featured image, but also deleting previous uploaded
 images in the media library). The only option at the moment is granting
 the role access to editing posts, what I don't want to.

 I've edited @dennisderoo code to let a role manage media items when he has
 the permission to upload files (upload_files):

 {{{
 public function fix_media_permissions() {
     global $wp_post_types;
     $wp_post_types['attachment']->cap->edit_post = 'upload_files';
     $wp_post_types['attachment']->cap->delete_posts = 'upload_files';
 }
 add_action( 'admin_init',  'fix_media_permissions' );
 }}}
