Implement an image annotator in WikibaseMediaInfo
Open, Needs TriagePublicFeature

Description

Feature summary (what you would like to be able to do and where):
It could be nice if WikibaseMediaInfo was providing https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Image-Annotator like features.

Use case(s) (list the steps that you performed to discover that problem, and describe the actual underlying problem which you want to solve. Do not describe only a solution):
Image-Annotator currently is a community extension to MediaWiki. Once I had a page with a page with lots of images then discovered Image-Annotator is loaded for each image on the page separately.

Benefits (why should this be implemented?):
Image-Annotator has a dated codebase which breaks here and there over the time. It even predates MediaWiki APIs.

Also purposed as a community wishlist https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_Wishlist/Wishes/Rewrite_ImageAnnotator_or_integrate_it_into_MediaWiki_WikibaseMediaInfo
