Item 1 of the IDE hardening list said extensions should come from "trusted sources" without defining what verification looks like. This PR expands it into a multi-channel check (publisher match, GitHub source repo cross-reference, install counts / verified-publisher badges / signed releases) and adds a threat-model line on why extensions are a high-yield target.

Also adds a contributors frontmatter acknowledging historical authors (mattaereal, fredriksvantes) alongside the new contribution.

Item 1 of the IDE hardening list previously said "trusted sources" without
defining what verification looks like. Expand it into a short multi-channel
check (publisher match, source-repo cross-reference, install counts /
verified-publisher badges / signed releases) and add a one-line
threat-model hook explaining why extensions are a high-yield target.

Also adds a contributors frontmatter acknowledging historical authors
(mattaereal, fredriksvantes) alongside the new contribution.
