Publishing Packages (to the Registry): Need a refresh of contribution guidelines #16484
Description
https://www.pulumi.com/docs/iac/guides/building-extending/packages/publishing-packages/
The content in this page hasn't been touched in a while, and we should revisit some important questions around the Registry.
The following internal doc has open questions on verifying what types of contributions we want, what the technical requirements are, and what the longer-term responsibilities are for maintainers: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1GHdjjPL8j1WE6W2R2Lc_HW4_pdn2vdy9a0urZ--r5dQ/edit?tab=t.0
Once we reach internal consensus, we should update the page content to reflect that consensus.
If we do this work, we probably want to also tackle the following closely related issues since we're reworking the content:
- Publishing Pulumi Packages: Document schematized configuration, environment variable mapping for providers #11609
- Publishing Pulumi Packages: Improve Pulumi packages "how-to-publish" with clearer information about Pulumi package schema #11610
- Publishing Packages: Add examples to index and Installation & Configuration pages #11611
