Knative graduation proposal

[aliok]

On behalf of the Knative Steering Committee, I would like to propose Knative to become a graduated CNCF project.

As you can see in the proposal document in this PR, we believe Knative is ready to graduate.

A TAG CS governance review request was created here: cncf/tag-contributor-strategy#578 (I believe this is not a MUST for graduation yet, as I saw the Istio example).

@amye could you please label this as TAG Runtime and TAG App Delivery?

(Graduation proposals don't get labeled with TAGs but this is is fine)

@aliok In preparation for Knative to be picked up by a TOC member after the KubeCon freeze period -- and prior to TOC member assignment -- please:

• review the definition of an adopter
• verify 5-7 project adopters that can and are willing to be interviewed by the TOC reviewer(s) and
• submit information for each adopter to the Adopter Interview Questionnaire form
• complete the Security Self Assessment

Hi @angellk, just following up - is the Security Self Assessment necessary if we've been formally audited?

See:

• https://knative.dev/blog/events/security-audit-2023/
• https://www.cncf.io/blog/2023/12/11/knative-completes-third-party-security-audit/

verify 5-7 project adopters that can and are willing to be interviewed by the TOC reviewer(s) and

I have about 10 now - waiting to hear back from 10 more. So ideally we'll have ~20 adopters to interview. I'll do the submission once I have a final list in a week or two.

@dprotaso yes - the Security Self Assessment captures information that the Audits don't

@dprotaso great! Please use the form to start submitting. Only 5-7 are required and more can be interviewed as the TOC member doing the due diligence feels is necessary.
