Q&A
There is a pull request to remove telemetry: https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/18314
Why not just download and run it? I do that for the VSCode distribution. No need for a package. It is just a web application after all, isn't it? :)

VSCode is a fork of Atom, but written with Typescript instead of Coffeescript. One step down, and it is javascript running inside a chromium (webbrowser) container.
What I do for VSCode is download, extract and run the executable. I don't know that the Void package for VSCode does, but it shouldn't be more than that.
EDIT:
I would just download https://github.com/VSCodium/vscodium/releases/download/1.41.1/VSCodium-linux-x64-1.41.1.tar.gz and extract and run.
ANOTHER_EDIT:
Electron is an application framework based on web technologies -> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electron_(software_framework)
Not sure why it didn't get merged into the repo but a template file was submitted:
https://github.com/shizonic/void-packages/tree/vscodium-bin/srcpkgs/vscodium-bin
If you follow the xbps-src quick start guide you can probably get it built in no time but you'd have to maintain it yourself until it does get merged (if at all)
