Description of the tool/project: Allows users to add links with the rel="me" HTML attribute to their user pages. This is useful because some sites or tools (for example Mastodon) use that to verify profile ownership.

Dependencies MediaWiki itself
Has this project been reviewed before? No.
Working test environment The extension is easy to set up with a local MediaWiki installation, as it doesn't require any special configuration. I believe a security review is required to deploy it to the beta cluster.
Post-deployment I imagine this extension will not require very active maintenance in the future given its low complexity. I and other MW +2'ers using this functionality will ensure that the extension is kept compatible with core changes.
