From 0af5adf8d51f5a17e1a228de92704935a52e4b3a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Shubham Pampattiwar Date: Thu, 3 Sep 2026 22:31:20 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] Fix governance discoverability for CLOMonitor (MAINTAINERS.md link + README section) (#10466) * Fix dead GOVERNANCE.md link in MAINTAINERS.md The GOVERNANCE.md link pointed to the old vmware-tanzu/velero path, which now returns a 404. Governance now lives at the org level under velero-io/.github. Repoint the link so it resolves correctly. Part of the CNCF incubation readiness work (#10383). Signed-off-by: Shubham Pampattiwar * Add Governance section to README for discoverability CLOMonitor's governance check looks for a governance file or a governance reference (header/link) in the README, not in MAINTAINERS.md. Add a Governance section to the README linking the org-level GOVERNANCE.md so the check passes and the info is discoverable. Part of the CNCF incubation readiness work (#10383).
