Summary

This PR adds a short developer page for people preparing an externally maintained FieldTrip extension. It explains when an extension may be a better fit than a direct core contribution, what a useful extension repository should contain, and what information to include when requesting a listing on the website.

It also links the new page from the existing Extensions and Contribute pages.

Context

This follows the direction discussed in fieldtrip/fieldtrip#2578: keeping self-contained external functionality discoverable, while making maintenance responsibility clear.

Validation

  • git diff --check
  • Confirmed the new internal links point to repository pages present in this branch
  • Spellcheck and full Jekyll build were not run locally because pyspelling/aspell and the Jekyll bundle are not installed in this environment.
