Publish GitLab Workflow extension to Open VSX Registry
Problem to Solve
Currently there are users who use VS Code alternatives like VS Codium, Theia and others which are generally OSS alternatives to VS Code. In most cases, these editors are able to run VS Code extensions, but the VS Code marketplace is unavailable for normal distribution.
Additional Details
Open VSX is an open-source registry for VS Code extensions. It can be used by any development environment that supports such extensions.

Proposal
In order to make the GitLab Workflow extension more accessible to more users we should also automate publishing of the extension to the Open VSX registry.
Original Description
I'm a VS Codium user, a FLOSS version of VS Code. It's the same code but without Microsoft's telemetry, branding and licensing.I would like to request, if possible, to add the GitLab extension to the open-vsx.org market as it is unclear if it's legal to use the official Microsoft extension marketplace on VS Code forks, see here.
