Sure, here you go. Just let us know when you stop working on it.
See https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/How_to_become_a_MediaWiki_hacker for the rest; given comment 0, you probably want to check how this is done in core (SpecialListUsers).

Also, you will want to download the git repository for CentralAuth extension and set it up. See https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:CentralAuth for instructions on how to set it up.

Specifically, you are going to want to look at CentralAuth/specials/SpecialGlobalUsers.php . In the method getQueryInfo() you need to add gu_registration as a field, then you need to alter formatRow() to display it.

Thanks..
I am going to look into code.

Unasigning because of long-term inactivity and abandoned gerrit patch. Anyone interested feel free to take it.

With CentralAuth is this really necessary now? Doesn't seem that necessary for normal priority.
