Milestone
We now support repository signing. This means that every extension uploaded to the VS Marketplace from today will be code signed by the VS Marketplace.
Once a user installs a signed extension through VS Code's extensions view, VS Code will verify the signature and thus prove this extension is indeed coming from the VS Marketplace. The verification process is only done in VS Code Insiders. This issue is created so we enable it for VS Code stable.
There are no action items needs for extension authors.
