Get list of existing publishers from WinGet directory #2

It would be nice to have the Publisher field show existing publishers from the WinGet feed so users don't create duplicates.

The problem with this is that it will require network access, which the app currently doesn't require (and I like the fact it has no capabilities / no privacy concerns). Network access could be added to the app (and the privacy policy updated accordingly), or perhaps there could be a way to get the publisher info offline (eg, have user copy-paste something).
