I wrote a mostly-up-to-date guide at
http://www.gnome.org/projects/epiphany/documentation/extensions/index.html
and you can look to the sample extensions in the epiphany-extensions CVS
module (GNOME CVS) for additional help. Not to mention, the
already-working extensions.

To implement it, you'd have to create several toolbar buttons. They'd
correspond to GtkActions like in the Epiphany source code (check the
source code for the location bar and the back/forward buttons).

But don't get too excited: it's impossible to manipulate the toolbar
from within an extension right now. This will change in the future. In
the meantime, I think the extension would be very hard to create :).

Oh, and you'd obviously need the stumbleupon source code:
http://stumbleupon.mozdev.org/source.html
