Verified creator flag in GitHub Marketplace

[ruzickap]

Hello guys.

Would it be possible to make opentofu/setup-opentofu marked as "Verified creator" in GitHub Marketplace please?

Example (https://github.com/marketplace/actions/renovate-bot-github-action):

Thank you...

Hey @ruzickap this may be possible, we'll look into it. For reference to anyone reading this, here are the docs on how to do this: https://docs.github.com/en/apps/github-marketplace/github-marketplace-overview/applying-for-publisher-verification-for-your-organization

I wonder if this might tie-in with https://github.com/opentofu/opentofu/issues/1236 in terms of steps for GitHub to recognize OpenTofu as a published/verified creator/partner organization.

From recent experience, that docs page serves more as a list of prerequisites rather than a complete how-to guide, unfortunately.

Shown in the screenshot above is email confirmation that "devsectop" organization's publisher account is verified as of a few hours ago. Despite this, the marketplace listing for OpenTofu via PR Comments (devsectop/tf-via-pr-comments) GitHub Action lacks the Verified Creator badge.

When I followed up with GitHub Support, I was helpfully pointed towards the Technology Partners program: one of the benefits of which is the Verified Creator badge.

We recommend that our partners who create actions request the verified creator badge by emailing us at partnerships@github.com because the badge provides several benefits that are outlined below.

In addition to the email address above, they also have an online submission form to kick-off the process through the appropriate channels.
