Since annotations allow editing, they should also track history. This will require schema changes in the extension, and investigation of how core handles this.
Once the history is tracked, there should be a way to display it.

We should discuss possible approaches for this before starting. It may make sense to switch to ContentHandler before doing this.
Well we have two options:
Yeah, I now lean towards supporting ContentHandler, similar to what you suggested earlier (https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=46440#c34).
It needs some more research, and there are questions like performance, how to name the annotation pages (same technique as Wikibase?). However, all of this should probably be solvable, and saves re-implementing history, etc.
@Rjain: I am resetting the assignee of this task because there has not been progress lately (please correct me if I am wrong!).
Resetting the assignee avoids the impression that somebody is already working on this task. It also allows others to potentially work towards fixing this task.
Please claim this task again when you plan to work on it (via Add Action... → Assign / Claim in the dropdown menu) - it would be welcome! Thanks for your understanding!
Declining per T189753: Archive the Annotator extension. The extension is no longer maintained and has been archived.
