potiuk opened a new pull request, #63305:
URL: https://github.com/apache/airflow/pull/63305
Split the monolithic `PROVIDERS.rst` into focused documents under the
`providers/` folder,
alongside the existing `MANAGING_PROVIDERS_LIFECYCLE.rst`.
## Summary
- Keep `PROVIDERS.rst` as a concise hub with overview, document index table,
and stub sections
preserving all existing anchor links (used by hundreds of changelog files)
- New documents under `providers/`:
- `PROVIDER_GOVERNANCE.rst` - governance framework, stewardship, lifecycle
stages, health metrics
- `ACCEPTING_PROVIDERS.rst` - prerequisites and approval process for new
providers
- `PROVIDER_RELEASES.rst` - release process, SEMVER versioning,
distribution states, min Airflow version
- `SUSPENDING_AND_REMOVING_PROVIDERS.rst` - suspension and removal
criteria/process
- `THIRD_PARTY_PROVIDERS.rst` - 3rd-party providers and mixed governance
model
- Restructured `MANAGING_PROVIDERS_LIFECYCLE.rst` with consistent heading
hierarchy and logical
section grouping (creating, releasing, suspending, resuming, removing)
- Updated all cross-references between documents
## Test plan
- [ ] Verify all existing anchor links from changelog files still resolve
correctly
- [ ] Verify cross-references between the new documents work
- [ ] Build docs with `breeze build-docs apache-airflow` to check for broken
links
