I'm open to pull-requests on this, but since I'm not a nostr user, and I'm not sure what's required to implement support for this, I probably won't implement this myself.

From a very brief check of the "current implementations" from the issue, it seems to be implemented as a browser extension?

Thanks for replying. Yes, they're both browser extensions. It's OK if you cannot work on it but just wanted to make the request on record so people searching for it later will hopefully find it.... perhaps someone with the skill and interest will come along : ) Can't open feature request issue on Bitwarden repo...
