Let’s make this extension directly depend on GitHub Authentication.
Thanks to the documentation in https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=L13RARY.l13-built-in-extensions I found that
@builtinsin the Extensions search lists built-in extensions and, indeed, GitHub Authentication was disabled. After enabling it and reloading VSCode the pull request extension is loading again.
