ClosedPublic

Summary

As requested in D90761, a small paragraph in the developer policy to
mention the different support levels.

Adding a new paragraph under "Adding an Existing Project" section to
check the different levels of support we have, to help introduction of
smaller set of changes without overwhelming new collaborators and
potentially losing the contribution.

Looks great, but I'd add this to the top of the "adding a new thing" section above the "new target" section. Could you also revise the 'new target' to be defined in the terms you established? I think it makes sense to retain the majority of the text there, but aligning on terminology would be good.

Thanks again!

It's looking a bit redundant to me, but I wanted to make sure we have the link on all three sections in case people are given a link (or navigate from the table-of contents) and don't see the sections above.

This update adds:

  • Links to the support policy
  • Rewrite to accommodate existing style
  • Specified the level of cover for each topic

I agree this is a bit redundant. I'd drop the two changes that I marked above in the diff, otherwise LGTM, thank you again!
