Description

Add a skeleton for governance. Super lightweight on purpose, we'll slurp in from the templates. Don't recommend mass copy/paste.

  • I have written unit tests for the changes (if applicable).
  • I have updated the documentation (if applicable).
  • I have tested the changes locally and ensured they work as expected.
  • My code follows the project's coding standards.

Pull request overview

Adds an initial GOVERNANCE.md skeleton to establish baseline project governance documentation for the Kubestellar community repo, intended as a lightweight starting point aligned with CNCF governance templates.

Changes:

  • Introduces a new governance document with a values section and initial subproject governance structure.
  • Describes (at a high level) criteria for adding/removing subprojects and an amendments process.

💡 Add Copilot custom instructions for smarter, more guided reviews. Learn how to get started.

[Instructions](https://contribute.cncf.io/maintainers/github/templates/required/governance-subprojects/#values)

The [TODO: PROJECTNAME] and its leadership embrace the following values:
Comment thread GOVERNANCE.md

Kubestellar hosts subprojects within its umbrella. The governance principles are the same across all of Kubestellar:

- [Hive](example)
Comment thread GOVERNANCE.md

Subprojects which still have contributors will then be moved to a repository in
their own namespace. Projects which have ceased all activity are moved to a
[TODO:Name of archive namespace] namespace.
