I'm looking for the source to the VSCode-Insider's Remote SSH extension, and everything seems to point to to Microsoft/vscode-remote-release, which has no code, just issues and Markdown docs. Anyone know where the actual extension source is? I'm curious of the inner workings. I've also checked on microsoft/vscode and don't see it either.

As with other service-based extensions such as Visual Studio LiveShare and IntelliCode, we have made the decision to keep them closed source.
You can provide the repository URL directly or search GitHub for the repository you want by typing in the text box. Once you have selected a repository or Pull Request, the VS Code window will reload and you will see the repository contents in the File Explorer.
Go to any GitHub repository and then press the dot key on your keyboard. Visual Studio Code will appear in your browser. It will load your entire repository and you can open any file from it. You have your entire source code with syntax highlighting and coloring.
That was asked in Microsoft/vscode-remote-release issue 30
It refers to this FAQ:
Why aren't the Remote Development extensions or their components open source?
The Visual Studio Code Remote Development extensions and their related components will use an open planning, issue, and feature request process, but are not currently open-source.

As Haaleo points out in the comments:
You can check the extension's installed source code.
Under windows navigate to%USERPROFILE%/.vscode-insiders/extensions
