+"mixed governance".

Review Comment:
   > * Please clarify "we are also bound with the Apache Software Foundation release policies"
   
   Added link and describe that it's about "who and how releases the ASF software"
   
   > * "providers are often connected with some stakeholders" are those stakeholders documented somewhere?
   
   No, but you do not have to be a stakeholder to propose to release an older version of a provider if you wish to take the burden of cherry-picking and testing the changes. So I do not think we need to document those. Just a PR to an old branch and confirmation that it's been tested is enough.
   
   > * Please clarify "The provider's governance model"
   
   Did.
   
   > * You throw in the term "mixed governance" but don't refer to it anywhere. Can you elaborate on it?
   
   Did.
