FR: please co-publish vscode extension on Open VSX Registry

[GitMensch]

Please add this useful extension to the Open VSX Registry.

Details on the publishing can be found at https://github.com/eclipse/openvsx/wiki/Publishing-Extensions.

A bit of explanation:
Open VSX Registry is the default extension provider endpoint for the free build of vscode VSCodium and Eclipse Theia, as well as browser versions like the one on GitPod. It would be nice to have this extension be directly published to a free vsix repository instead of only the Microsoft Marketplace with its restrictions.

You could also use a GitHub action that allows publishing to Open VSX and the MS market place, HaaLeo/publish-vscode-extension does this.

Greatly appreciated if it allows to deploy the extension both on Eclipse and VsCode

[GitMensch]

That GitHub action does (of course you still have to have a publisher id for both places to publish in general).

Friendly ping. The first thing would likely to manually publish the extension once, then one can check the option to use a GitHub action to publish to both market places, for example on push of tags or on releases.
