Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I use Winget to install and manage many of my Windows programs -

Describe the solution you'd like
I would like to see this project added for distribution in Winget; it may be desirable if this project "is aware of" the Winget repository's listing for it based on my limited understanding. I think that would look like submitting issues/PR's for manifests for each release. There may be automation tools for this; I believe it's well-documented but have never done it as a developer.

Describe alternatives you've considered
A community member (including me) could simply add, or ask for assistance adding (this is done by opening an Issue in the repository I will mention), this project to the community repository: https://github.com/microsoft/winget-pkgs

Additional context
#218 is relevant because Microsoft Store (free Apps rated "e" for everyone) is the other source for packages in the Windows Package Manager. Because of this, it's worth explicitly mentioning that a Windows Store listing would likely also show up in the winget search for packages, though that would not satisfy this request.

What would being submitted to the store not satisfy that being added to the winget community packages list would?
