Alter extension warning for `super_user`

See original GitHub issue

When one goes to an extension page published by a user who isn’t the verified publisher of a namespace, you get this scary warning message: warning banner

I like the banner, it is awesome for motivating authors to verify their namespaces and make Open VSX a better marketplace for all. I think putting it everywhere is a bit too much though, because:

  1. Companies such as Microsoft will never publish to Open VSX, so it would be better to remove this banner for these ones, because I don’t think it’s a good thing our biggest extension, ms-python.python, is filled with warnings.
  2. The super_user account (@open-vsx for open-vsx.org) only publishes extensions which are reviewed by me and the team to make sure we aren’t publishing some malicious fork. It’s only open-source extensions and our extensions manifest is transparent about that.

I’d love to start a discussion about this here and would love to hear any ideas 😃.

We can add a condition to isVerified where if the user is a privileged user, then it’s always verfied.

I’ll like this idea, as it’s simple 👍 , I think playing with namespace ownership will add too complexity and bugs

  • Add a condition to isVerified where if the user is a privileged user, then it’s always verfied.
  • Update Namespace Access to reflect the change in the code.
