+Provider Governance Framework
+-----------------------------
+
+This section describes the governance framework for community providers,
including lifecycle stages,
+stewardship model, and quantitative health metrics.
+
+Airflow's success is built on its extensive ecosystem of community-supported
integrations—over 1,600
+hooks, operators, and sensors released as part of 90+ provider packages. These
integrations are critical
+for "ubiquitous orchestration." This governance framework establishes a
scalable method to grow the
+number of integrations while ensuring quality. Actual code acceptance and
release governance remains with the Airflow PMC.
+
+Provider Stewardship Model
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Each provider or integration component must have designated **stewards**
responsible for ensuring
+the health criteria described below are met:
+
+* **Minimum stewards**: At least two unique individuals must serve as stewards
for each provider
+* **Role definition**: Stewards are subject matter experts for the
integration. This could be expertise in the
+ service being integrated, the language being supported by the provider, or
the framework being integrated.
+ Stewardship is a responsibility, not an additional authority or privilege
+* **Committer sponsorship**: Each steward must be sponsored by an existing
Airflow Committer. The
+ sponsor ensures that stewards fulfill their responsibilities and provides
guidance on maintaining the
+ provider according to best practices. This includes regular dependency
updates, issue resolution, and
+ monitoring that the provider meets the health metrics required for its
current lifecycle stage (that is, incubation
+ or production). The sponsor is responsible for PR reviews and merges
(including ensuring coding standards are met), but
+ is NOT responsible for active maintenance of the provider's codebase, which
remains the responsibility of the stewards.
Review Comment:
I think it's important to say it explicitly otherwise other committers might
refrain from merging PRs for a given provider.
