Write a script to import the data from user creation events in "Log events to all pages and users" (enwiki-yyyymmdd-pages-logging.xml.gz) dump into the local user table and local logging table. The user_id from enwiki and other data should be preserved. Perhaps practice on, e.g., https://simple.wikipedia.org/ (simplewiki) rather than enwiki since it's a smaller wiki. The first priority is to mirror user data from user creation events (log_type = newusers) in the local user table; the second priority is to mirror user data from user renaming events (log_type = renameuser) in the local user table; the third priority is to mirror data from these log events in the local logging table. The lack of user table functionality is a potential blocker for bug 59618; the logging table does not appear to be a blocker for anything.

I don't see such a script listed under https://git.wikimedia.org/tree/mediawiki%2Fcore.git/HEAD/maintenance hence moving to extensions product

Sounds kind of gross. Why not resolve bug 49134 instead?

Fixed. The current implementation doesn't actually populate the user table, since that was deemed to perhaps cause problematic conflicts in some situations. That decision might be revisited later ([[mw:Extension:MirrorTools/User table]]); we'll see.
