[Request] Please publish zipFS extension to Open VSX registry

[muhammadsammy]

Could you please publish the zipFS extension to Open VSX Registry? This is the marketplace used in editors like vscodium, Thia IDE, gitpod etc. Here is the instruction for publishing to open-vsx: https://github.com/eclipse/openvsx/wiki/Publishing-Extensions#how-to-publish-an-extension

That makes sense. In fact, we should find a way to automatically trigger the extension's releases from the GitHub Actions - at the moment they are manual, so it gets less attention than it would otherwise.

@arcanis The extension not being on openvsx is a blocker for me. My operating system packages the open-source variant of VisualStudio Code (Code - OSS), with which I'm not permitted to access the Visual Studio Marketplace. There is documentation on how to do it: https://github.com/eclipse/openvsx/wiki/Publishing-Extensions#how-to-publish-an-extension.

It looks like it should be easy enough to set up a GitHub action for that, and I would volunteer to try it, but someone from the yarn project should create a publisher namespace and connect the tokens to this repo (at which point the action itself should be trivial anyways).

I just found a template for a GitHub Action publishing to VS marketplace and OpenVSX simultaneously, PTAL @arcanis https://github.com/HaaLeo/publish-vscode-extension#readme
