This commit updates my last name throughout the Project and Council docs
pages. I am officially and legally "Wheeler" now and I have already

This commit refactors the "Upstream First: A Core Fedora Principle"
document to improve clarity and flow, and incorporates feedback from the
community.
Changes include:
- Move the "Fedora's Commitment to Upstream First" section to the top to
emphasize the core principle and its rationale.
- Integrate the key points from the "The Benefits of Upstream First"
section into the "Fedora's Commitment to Upstream First" section,
removing redundancy and streamlining the document.
- Add a statement emphasizing Fedora's commitment to prioritizing user
benefit, even if it means diverging from upstream decisions.
- Minor edits for improved readability and consistency.

This commit addresses a round of feedback by other community members in
building this common definition of what "Upstream First" means to the
Fedora community:
* Addressed @jnsamyak feedback by emphasizing the voluntary nature of
the Upstream First philosophy and encouraged contributors to actively
adopt it in their work by adding a call to action at the end.
* Addressed @dreua feedback by adding an example about early testing and
bug reporting in the Python ecosystem to the "Examples in Action"
section.
* Addressed @joseph feedback by including a sentence in the "Open
Communication with Upstream" section to highlight the importance of
positive and respectful relationships with upstream projects,
extending Fedora's values to those interactions.

This commit addresses feedback from @mattia about the Upstream First
principle and why we do this in Fedora. Changes summarized below:
* Added "Non-Free Blobs" to Downstream Reasons: Incorporated the point
about patching out non-free or pre-built blobs as a reason for
downstream patches in the "When Downstream Changes Happen" section.
* Added "Avoiding Bundled Dependencies" Example: Included an example in
the "Examples in Action" section illustrating how Fedora avoids
bundling dependencies to ensure consistency, security, and
compatibility.

This commit addresses feedback from @kevin in Matrix about how we engage
and work together with upstream communities. It emphasizes that while we
are not always going to agree with upstream's suggestions, we work hard
to maintain strong, healthy relationships with our upstreams, and Fedora
values the importance of working together in what we do as a community.

This commit incorporates a few additional changes to the original draft,
per discussion in the Pagure Pull Request comments:
* Added Section on Downstream Patches: Addressed @shaunm's excellent
point about explaining the "second" part of "upstream first" by adding
a new section "When Downstream Changes Happen." This section explains
the legitimate reasons for downstream patches and emphasizes that they
are not contradictions of the core principle.
* Clarified "Distinguishes Fedora": Removed potentially exclusive
phrasing as per @smilner's suggestion. The focus is now on the
practice of Upstream First, not comparisons.
* Emphasized Pragmatic Benefits: Incorporated @blc's point about the
practical engineering advantages of upstream first, specifically the
reduction of maintenance burden. This adds another layer of
justification for the principle.
* Added License Clarifications Example: This example summarizes
@mattdm's point about the importance of upstreaming license-related
fixes. It highlights how Fedora contributors actively engage with
upstream projects to address licensing issues, ensuring compliance and
broader inclusion in the open source ecosystem.
* Minor Edits: Minor edits for clarity and flow.

This commit adds a new page that offers an explanation and overview of
Fedora's place in the Fedora ecosystem. This is inspired by a request
that @ankursinha asked to the Council in August 2020, and recent events
with the Flatpak/OBS situation.
The goal of creating this page is an attempt at making an implicit part
of our community ethos into something explicit. If we do not write it
down and make sure we are clear about what we believe, how can we expect
that the next generation will be able to steward the project in
accordance with our values and beliefs in the betterment of Free
Software? This explanation may not be perfect, but it is a first start,
and it is placed prominently in our official project documentation.

This commit migrates all content related to the Fedora Code of Conduct
into a new Antora module. This segments it off from the rest of the
Fedora Project docs and also sets up in the future to have reviewer
groups on Forgejo that are automatically tagged for review on specific
Antora modules.
It also provides improved discoverability of the Fedora CoC source
material. I used Antora page aliases to handle redirects from the
previous URL paths.

This commit removes a policy that was not updated along with the new
Fedora Code of Conduct in 2021. This policy documents an incorrect and
outdated process from 2018 that is no longer observed. It is misleading
and communicates wrong information. Therefore, it should just be removed
instead of going through the Council Policy Change Policy.
The removed page now redirects to the current Fedora Code of Conduct
page for anyone who bookmarked the previous URL.

The ARM link here should probably be removed as well, since it redirects to fp.o (same as getfedora does) but that's a job for a separate commit at the very least and maybe a separate PR.
In addition, the Fedora Leadership wiki page that's linked here has a warning about being possibly deleted due to lack of maintenance, though I'm not sure what to do to help with that personally.
This commit adds two ongoing Community Initiatives into the Fedora
Project docs:

2. Adds Fedora bootc Initiative, led by @jasonbrooks
3. Uses more partials/attributes for links

I compiled a biography for @t0xic0der using his previous Initiative Lead
biography and his wiki page. I am using this in the interim, and he can
update it and make revisions as he sees fit.

This commit makes changes to the following:
* Sorting of historical positions for all roles is now in descending
order from oldest to last. Previously, different roles were sorted in
different ways, and this was confusing to read.
* Add Aoife Moloney as a full-fledged Fedora Council member, as the
Fedora Operations Architect. @amoloney
* Add Akashdeep Dhar as the F40 elected representative and note
Aleksandra's ending term as F39. @t0xic0der@bookwar

This commit integrates feedback from @mattdm on the wording of the
Fedora Council responsibilities with respect to Executive Sponsors, and
also updates the role description of Community Initiative Leads to
reflect the updated description in the Community Initiatives page.

This commit amends the Fedora Council Charter in the following ways:
* Responsibilities: Add note about Executive Sponsor role and that a
Fedora Council member is expected to become a Sponsor as a part of
their term on the Council.
* Community Initiative Leads: Clarify the role amid recent changes to
Community Initiatives, especially around the composition of the seat
and the fact that Initiatives are not hand-appointed by the Council,
but actually driven by community consensus and momentum.

This commit adds a Unicode character next to the DEI Advisor line in the
Fedora Council docs site. This addresses feedback from @mattdm that it
was sometimes confusing about this page, because it redirects to another
Antora component outside of the Council docs site. I believe this change
addresses the confusion and we can avoid making this a request on the
Websites & Apps Team.
Kudos to @darknao for the suggestion.
