Request: Publish this extension to open-vsx.org #38

Hi,

I have a request. Would it be possible for you to upload this extension to the open-vsx.org extension marketplace in addition to the Microsoft marketplace?

I realize you provide manual installation steps, and I've used those in the past. But I'm not getting automatic updates like I would if I installed from an extension marketplace.

The Open-VSX marketplace is operated under the auspices of the Eclipse project. They explain their rationale for a new, separate extension marketplace in a post that says, in part...

Vendor-Neutral Alternatives to VS Code Are Available
...
Only Visual Studio Products Can Access the Extension Marketplace
...
Most extensions are developed by communities and published under permissive open source licenses. The requirement to distribute and access these community-owned extensions in a system with such restrictive terms of service does not seem right.

Our goal is to resolve this issue by hosting an open source extension registry at the Eclipse Foundation, a vendor-neutral organization. We’re doing this through the Eclipse Open VSX Registry project.

Just a thought. As proven in the past, I would try to provide some kind of PR to try to help this along. However, I shouldn't register the Open-VSX account under my name and I can't test a GitHub Action to publish automatically without the access token for the account that I shouldn't register. 😂

As always, thanks for your wonderful tool!
