Motivate the authors of your favorite vscode extensions to publish them at https://open-vsx.org/
If you are not the author, we suggest you first reach out to the author with an issue in their GitHub repo to request that they publish their extension to open-vsx.org. We've drafted a template with suggested content for the issue.
