[mediawiki/extensions/Wikisource@master] Add popup to allow engine and model selection before bulk OCR happens

Hello @theprotonade @Samwilson I am Formasit Chijoh, I will be participating for GSOC . I found the Bulk OCR on Wikisource project very interesting and exciting and I will like to contribute to it. I am currently setting up the project to start working on this task.

Hi! @theprotonade I assigned myself to this task, but I just realized there's an inactive Gerrit patch from July 2025. It's also been removed from the GSoC microtasks list. Is it okay to contact the patch author to discuss conflicts/updates, or should I pick up a new microtask

Thanks!

Hi @Formasit-chijoh, thanks for taking a look here. This task is more of one of the objectives of the project than a microtask which is why I removed it (I added it by mistake). The patch from earlier was probably abandoned because it was not being actively worked on anymore. I can work on adding more microtasks, however, and meanwhile feel free to take a look at the existing microtask.

Thank you for the clarification I will assign myself to a different task.
