Description
Feature request
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Publishing to open-vsx allows forks of OSS VSCode e.g. Windsurf to install this plugin.
Describe the solution you'd like
Please consider directly publishing to open-vsx https://github.com/EclipseFdn/publish-extensions/blob/master/docs/direct_publish_setup.md
Describe alternatives you've considered
I have made an adapter PR EclipseFdn/publish-extensions#850
This is suboptimal but expedient. Please consider commenting with your support.

Context
Unfortunately, as Microsoft prohibits usages of the Microsoft marketplace by any other products or redistribution of .vsix files from it, in order to use VS Code extensions in non-Microsoft products, we kindly ask that you take ownership of the VS Code extension namespace in Open VSX and publish this extension on Open VSX.
What is Open VSX? Why does it exist?
Open VSX is a vendor neutral alternative to the MS marketplace used by most other derivatives of VS Code like VSCodium, Gitpod, OpenVSCode, Theia-based IDEs, and so on.
You can read on about Open VSX at the Eclipse Foundation's Open VSX FAQ.
