I got lucky to find your username on GitHub but other people might not have the same reflex.

See https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/extensionAPI/extension-manifest for more info on the package,json part.

The Package.json part for homepage and repo should all be there. On the Gallery, there is a side column called resources that link to the github repo and github homepage readme. There weren't many examples when I originally made these themes. I didn't realize the repo and homepage links were going to be on the side and easily overlooked like they are. All of the Microsoft examples of published themes left all of that blank.

If I were to add something to the readme, what would you feel would be most helpful?

On the extensions I personally develop, I've added a dedicated section. Here is an example.

I also added a badge with issue count but it looks like shields.io is not reliable as images regularly end-up not being displayed :cry:

I am adding icons and screenshots to my themes currently, and adding an easier to find links in the readme files as you suggested.
