Deno Lockfiles

[lishaduck]

Describe the enhancement

I noticed that deno.lock isn't marked as generated. As I looked at the source code for marking things as generated, I wondered if there's a reason for individualizing marking each ecosystem? Given that .lock feels pretty standard now, would it be possible to autodetect any lockfile, including deno.lock? Alternatively, could y'all add deno.lock/would y'all be open to contributions for it?

Yes, because not everyone wants their lock files marked as generated as is the case with yarn.lock following the discussion in https://github.com/github-linguist/linguist/issues/4348

Alternatively, could y'all add deno.lock/would y'all be open to contributions for it?

We're happy to accept a PR, but keep in mind the yarn community's decision; maybe the demo community expects the same?

Ah, yes. I recall seeing that. That makes a lot more sense now.

Given the differences between PnP and HTTPS imports, and particularly that much of the ecosystem doesn't use lockfiles (as esm.sh messes them up), I don't think that Yarn's security argument applies here.
