Summary

Rename the Vendors page to Third-party ecosystem and replace long vendor descriptions with names and external links. This keeps third-party product claims off the Iceberg website and reduces the risk of implied endorsement.

The page also adds a non-endorsement disclaimer and a neutral listing policy. Future entries may include a brief neutral description, but the Iceberg project does not verify third-party claims.

Other ASF projects use similar ecosystem pages:

  • Apache Airflow includes a prominent non-endorsement disclaimer and accepts additions through public channels.
  • Apache Cassandra identifies entries as unsupported third-party offerings and accepts additions by pull request.

Scope and follow-ups

This PR intentionally reuses existing listing names and links to keep the change focused on the page structure and listing policy. A follow-up audit should review:

  • Generic destinations: BladePipe, Collate, Stackable, and Teradata.
  • Stale or cross-project destinations: CelerData/PhoenixAI, Upsolver/Qlik, and VeloDB/Apache Doris.

Validation

  • Markdown lint
  • Documentation builds on Linux and macOS
