Vscodium: Can't Install GitHub Pull Request Extension

[MohamedAlFahim]

Describe the bug
When I try to install the GitHub Pull Request VSIX, it is confused for the Red Hat Java language support extension.

Please confirm that this problem is VSCodium-specific

• [x] This bug doesn't happen if I use Microsoft's Visual Studio Code. It only happens in VSCodium.

Please confirm that the issue/resolution isn't already documented

• [x] I checked the Docs page and my issue is not mentioned there.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Download and attempt to install the "GitHub Pull Requests and Issues" VSIX file.
2. Quit VSCodium then open VSCodium.
3. See list of installed extensions.
4. See Red Hat extension installed rather than GitHub Pull Request extension.

Expected behavior
The GitHub Pull Request extension should be installed rather than the Red Hat extension.

Additional context
I originally mentioned the issue at https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-pull-request-github/issues/1985, but later discovered that this strange issue was unique to VSCodium and didn't occur in VS Code. I also mentioned more VSCodium-specific issues there.

Perhaps related to using open-vsx instead of the VSCode Marketplace as the extension gallery?

I am also encountering this. Maybe this bug is a duplicate of or at least related to #434?

I am additionally encountering this.

[spoenemann]

Yes, this is probably a duplicate of #434. It should work now, please verify.

@spoenemann I updated VSCodium to 1.47.1, installed the Org Mode VSIX file, then reloaded VSCodium, and it worked! The correct description tab was shown, although it unsurprisingly had no stars. I couldn't install the GitHub Pull Request VSIX because it was not compatible with version 1.47.1. I also installed the Nim VSIX file, and that worked too, so the issue appears to be solved.
