I'm going to pick up an investigation instead and revisit this once the rest of the engineers are on board, so everyone can see an extension being made from scratch

Tchanders added subscribers: JayCano, AGueyte.

We did this in the engineering meeting. @AGueyte and @JayCano were able to see via screenshare that the SimilarEditors extension appeared on my local Special:Version when I added wfLoadExtension( 'SimilarEditors' );.

I'm going to move this to Done, since code review and QA are all dependent on there being a git repo on gerrit, and setting one up is part of the next task: T296209: Create the SimilarEditors extension.
