The user requirements last year were based on SUL and we used http://toolserver.org/~mono/account/ for verification. A hook into the SUL databases similar to that tool should work. Anyway, users had to have 200 edits at any Wikimedia project before January 1 and that account had to be linked with SUL to Commons. I'll start the extension page to help identify the necessary functionality more specifically.

perhaps some other contests, and it doesn't have to be elaborate.
However,
as I said, it would be really great if we could get just a couple people who have some experience developing MediaWiki extensions to help program this in time for this year's contest.
If anyone is interested in helping out or would like some more
information,
please contact me as soon as possible - anything helps!
Thanks, User:Mono
That's a good idea. It is also suitable for new developers getting practise. I can help with this. The most complex bit would be the possible user requirements. Other preferences need to be specified, but its implementation should be straightforward.
I think the next step would be gaining feedback and collecting what the extension should do at some page, such as https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ImagePoll
