Claiming namespace [baland]

### Namespace

`baland`

### Ownership

- [x] The namespace is not currently owned on Open VSX (verified via search — `baland` currently shows as unverified with no owner).

### Account Age

- [x] The GitHub ID making this request (@applemate) has at least 12 months of public history — account created 2010-12-28 (15+ years).

---

### Option 1 — VS Code Publisher with Repo

- [x] The namespace is also a publisher account on the VS Code Marketplace (https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/publishers/baland) and has an extension published there (`baland.invid-theme`) with a repo specified in its `package.json`.

Chosen:

- [x] The extension repo, public or private, is owned by the GitHub ID making this request (same org).

### Claim evidence

I am **@applemate**, requesting ownership of the **`baland`** namespace.

- **VS Code Marketplace publisher:** `baland` — https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=baland.invid-theme
- **Source repository (public, owned by me):** https://github.com/applemate/invid-theme
- **Open VSX extension:** `baland.invid-theme` — https://open-vsx.org/extension/baland/invid-theme — its `package.json` specifies `repository: https://github.com/applemate/invid-theme.git`.
- **Commit authored by me (@applemate):** https://github.com/applemate/invid-theme/commit/cd1a5fbb34e818a33a64aff2b4c08984581167b6

Note: the current VS Code Marketplace listing (v0.0.3) still references an older placeholder repository URL from before I cleaned up the metadata; the authoritative source is https://github.com/applemate/invid-theme, which I own (all commits are by @applemate). If you need stronger proof that I control the `baland` VS Code Marketplace publisher, I'm happy to grant the Open VSX administrator ID (`46461f8e-a0a8-6de8-9186-8ac72e28656d`) temporary reader access to that publisher account — just let me know.

Thanks!

Review the namespace-claim request and the linked VS Code Marketplace listing, Open VSX page, source repository, and package.json repository URL. Verify that baland is unowned and that @applemate controls the publisher and repository; done when the ownership decision is recorded and the namespace is assigned or the request is rejected with a reason.
