Put Extension on Open VSX
Publish the extension on Open VSX please.
The VSCode marketplace can only be used with VSCode proper per their terms of service. OpenVSX is an alternative that can be used with VSCode forks, like VSCodium.
Is there a smart way to do it-- that you know of? Or does one just go through the motions? Any reason they cannot just pull from the main repo?

I don't maintain any VSCode extensions. I'm completely unaware of any tools to help.

Because that would be against their terms of service. You can only use the VSCode marketplace with official VSCode. Microsoft wants to maintain a monopoly on it.
I did manage to build it from the source and install it with VSCodium. I have a PR #498 with build instructions for other to do the same. That could be an alternative if publishing in two repositories is too much work.
