Explore the possibility of extracting parser info and queries to a "data only" repository

[VonHeikemen]

I see this more as a benefit to the community. Having a central place people can use a reference, for example ts-install.nvim uses the same parser and queries this plugin sourced from nvim-treesitter. In theory, multiple plugins could benefit from having a central repo where the data lives. Developers that are willing to add more parsers and maintain queries would also have a place where their contributions benefits more users (provided this "data only" repo becomes popular, a big if).

@romus204, we have a working workflow for a "neovim registry" here: https://registry.neovim.net/
Do you mind discussing how we can make use of that in this awesome plugin? Do you have jabber/xmpp, matrix or discord? I don't necessarily need to keep that discussion private, but I don't want to flood this issues with back-and-forth messages.

@gorillamoe Hi! maybe you have telegram? )
If not, you can start on Reddit and then move on to wherever is most convenient. https://www.reddit.com/user/romus204/

https://github.com/neovim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter is an active fork that was also mentioned on Matrix. It's probably better to remove the parser info and queries here, and depend on that repo instead.

Should probably mention that upstream neovim is trying to create a "data-only" repo: neovim/neovim#39006

It'd probably be in our best interests to incorporate that if/when it's done
