And finally, I wouldn't like my extensions to not use my namespace (which is the same as on MS Marketplace)
@daiyam Understood. I was looking for a way to reflect the fact that the owner of the ms-python

publisher
tooltip.This is misleading because it would appear that this extension was published to Open VSX by
ms-python
(Microsoft). When it was published by theopen-vsx
admin account.My suggestion would be to replace the extension namespace with the publisher both on the extension details page and on the list of extensions:
