+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. All 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
(service, language,
+ or skill). Stewardship is a responsibility, not an additional authority or
privilege
+* **Committer sponsorship**: Each steward must be sponsored by an existing
Airflow Committer who
+ ensures stewards fulfill their responsibilities. The sponsor is responsible
for guiding the stewards
+ through the process of maintaining the provider, following best practices
including regular dependency
+ updates, issue resolution, and ensuring the provider meets the health
metrics described below. The sponsor
+ is NOT responsible for the codebase itself, which remains the responsibility
of the stewards.
Review Comment:
Also - I think what is already mentioned below, is that committers are
ultimately accountable for **any** code merged, sponsors are really there so
that stewards should expect that at least the sponsors will pay attention.
