Just to be clear, "trusted publishing" means a type of reverse vendor lock in? Only some CI systems are allowed to be used for it.

"Trusted Publishing" is just a term of art for OIDC. NPM can and should support federating with CI/CD platforms other than GitHub Actions, to avoid even the appearance of impropriety.

(It makes sense that they'd target GHA first, since that's where the majority of their users probably are. But the technique itself is fundamentally platform agnostic and interoperable.)
