Looks like the extension is well supported in the wild:

This is not easy.

how did you make that?
what is the software that connected to peers?
I am too noob to know but I like that data.

I had a very long running, well used instance of anacrolix/confluence running. The data was pulled from its debug vars.

I am not a pro so I ask to for clarification.
that instance was a bittorrent to http bridge thing?

are those parameters inside a '.torrent' file? (which I think they are not) so if I open a torrent file I can see those parameters?

or are they a network capability thing, as in they need to be supported by the dht software running (for example a torrent client)

so you are actually tracking how many dht software(instances) supports which extensions?

Yes

No they're client specific.

Yep.

so you are actually tracking how many dht software(instances) supports which extensions?

Only the ones that contact my long-running instance. These extensions aren't exposed in the DHT protocol, although some of them may be related.
