Comment (by jeremyfelt):

 In general, +1, though a few thoughts after discussion during bug scrub
 today:

 * Are there any downsides to using meta caps instead? It seems like the
 right scenario for it.
 * If we introduce these, are there other places in core where they may
 apply?
 * Is `manage_site_` the right name when thinking about future
 compatibility for other caps at the site level?
 * A plugin can already alter the caps required for individual tabs.
