Description

As noted here:
https://github.com/VSCodium/vscodium/issues/337

> Please note that VSCodium now sources its extensions from https://open-vsx.org (the open-source vendor-neutral vscode extensions registry) because Microsoft's own marketplace is closed-source and has a restrictive proprietary license.
> And, while most common/popular extensions are already available on OpenVSX, it's still very new and a few extensions may be missing. If that's the case, you can:
> politely ask the extension maintainers to consider publishing to OpenVSX (they only need to run one command: npx ovsx publish, without installing anything), or
> add it to OpenVSX's own automated publishing CI for open-source extensions: https://github.com/open-vsx/publish-extensions

Would it be possible to publish to OpenVSX to enable use of this extension on VSCodium as well?
