You would have to do it manually; you can put marks and text anywhere 
you want in a matplotlib figure, but there is no mechanism for adding 
ticks to the extensions.  That's simply not what they are for.  They are 
intended only to indicate a single color to which values outside the 
vmin-to-vmax range of the norm are assigned.

It looks like you might be able to achieve what you want *without* using 
extensions, by using a custom colormap and/or norm.  You would extend 
the actual contour levels to include the full range you want "ticked and 
labeled", but you would use the colormap and/or norm to ensure those 
beyond a given range are mapped to the appropriate end color(s).
