Please publish the VS Code extension to the Open VSX Registry (an alternative to the MS VSC marketplace) #212

Hi Risor Team,

Please publish the risor VS Code extension to the Open VSX marketplace. As a VSCodium user with no access to the MS marketplace, I'd love to see the extension available there. Thank you!

Context

Unfortunately, as Microsoft prohibits usages of the Microsoft marketplace by any other products or redistribution of .vsix files from it, in order to use VS Code extensions in non-Microsoft products, we kindly ask that you take ownership of the VS Code extension namespace in Open VSX and publish this extension on Open VSX.

What is Open VSX? Why does it exist?

Open VSX is a vendor neutral alternative to the MS marketplace used by most other derivatives of VS Code like VSCodium, Gitpod, OpenVSCode, Theia-based IDEs, and so on.

You can read on about Open VSX at the Eclipse Foundation's Open VSX FAQ.

How can you publish to Open VSX?

The docs to publish an extension can be found here. This process is straightforward and shouldn't take too long. Essentially, you need an authentication token and to execute the ovsx publish command to publish your extension. There's also a doc explaining the whole process with an example GitHub Action workflow.

Hi @christophberger, this sounds good. Thank you for opening the ticket. Sounds easy enough, so I'll try to do this soon.
