My manual solution
In order to have the extension enabled I have manually linked the contents of etc/jupyter/jupyter_*_config.d/ into the etc/jupyter/ directory of my environment.
Happy to offer a pull request to the documentation if there is a cleaner solution for that.
Thank you for your attention.

Research direction
Start with the contributing installation instructions and reproduce the editable install using jupyter server extension enable --sys-prefix nbgitpuller. Investigate why the installed editable build is not found by Jupyter Server, using the reported etc/jupyter/jupyter_*_config.d/ workaround as a clue. Done means the documented development setup enables nbgitpuller without manually linking configuration files.
