+
+Regular feature and bugfix release.
+
+Minor Changes
+-------------
+
+- bundler - elements of list parameters are now validated (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/1885).
+- consul - elements of list parameters are now validated (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/1885).

+Bugfixes
+--------
+

+New Modules

+Monitoring

+
+- statsd - Send metrics to StatsD
+
+v2.0.1
+======
+
+Release Summary
+---------------
+
+Bugfix and security bugfix (potential information leaks in multiple modules, CVE-2021-20191) release.
+
+Major Changes
+-------------
+
+- For community.general 3.0.0, the ``ome_device_info``, ``idrac_firmware`` and ``idrac_server_config_profile`` modules will be moved to the `dellemc.openmanage <https://galaxy.ansible.com/dellemc/openmanage>`_ collection.
+  A redirection will be inserted so that users using ansible-base 2.10 or newer do not have to change anything.
+
+  If you use Ansible 2.9 and explicitly use the DellEMC modules mentioned above from this collection, you will need to adjust your playbooks and roles to use FQCNs starting with ``dellemc.openmanage.`` instead of ``community.general.``,
+  for example replace ``community.general.ome_device_info`` in a task by ``dellemc.openmanage.ome_device_info``.
+
+  If you use ansible-base and installed ``community.general`` manually and rely on the DellEMC modules mentioned above, you have to make sure to install the ``dellemc.openmanage`` collection as well.
+  If you are using FQCNs, for example ``community.general.ome_device_info`` instead of ``ome_device_info``, it will continue working, but we still recommend to adjust the FQCNs as well.
+
+Breaking Changes / Porting Guide

+
+Bugfixes
+--------
+
+- filesystem - do not fail when ``resizefs=yes`` and ``fstype=xfs`` if there is nothing to do, even if the filesystem is not mounted. This only covers systems supporting access to unmounted XFS filesystems. Others will still fail (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/1457, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/1478).
+- gitlab_user - make updates to the ``isadmin``, ``password`` and ``confirm`` options of an already existing GitLab user work (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/1724).
+- parted - change the regex that decodes the partition size to better support different formats that parted uses. Change the regex that validates parted's version string (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/1695).
+- redfish_info module, redfish_utils module utils - add ``Name`` and ``Id`` properties to output of Redfish inventory commands (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/1650).
+- sensu-silence module - fix json parsing of sensu API responses on Python 3.5 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/1703).

+
+Release Summary
+---------------
+
+This is release 2.0.0 of ``community.general``, released on 2021-01-28.
+
+Major Changes
+-------------
+
+- The community.general collection no longer depends on the ansible.netcommon collection (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/1561).
+- The community.general collection no longer depends on the ansible.posix collection (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/1157).
+
+Minor Changes
+-------------
+
+- A new filter ``lists_mergeby`` to merge two lists of dictionaries by an attribute.
+  For example:
+
+  .. code-block:: yaml
+
+      [{'n': 'n1', 'p1': 'A', 'p2': 'F'},
+       {'n': 'n2', 'p2': 'B'}] | community.general.lists_mergeby(
+      [{'n': 'n1', 'p1': 'C'},
+       {'n': 'n2', 'p2': 'D'},
+       {'n': 'n3', 'p3': 'E'}], 'n') | list
+
+  evaluates to
+
+  .. code-block:: yaml
+
+      [{'n': 'n1', 'p1': 'C', 'p2': 'F'},
+       {'n': 'n2', 'p2': 'D'},
+       {'n': 'n3', 'p3': 'E'}]
+
+  (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/604).
+- Add new filter plugin ``dict_kv`` which returns a single key-value pair from two arguments. Useful for generating complex dictionaries without using loops. For example ``'value' | community.general.dict_kv('key'))`` evaluates to ``{'key': 'value'}`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/1264).
+- The collection dependencies were adjusted so that ``community.kubernetes`` is required to be of version 1.0.0 or newer (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/774).
+- The collection is now actively tested in CI with the latest Ansible 2.9 release.
+- airbrake_deployment - add ``version`` param; clarified docs on ``revision`` param (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/583).

+- facter - added option for ``arguments`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/768).
+- firewalld - the module has been moved to the ``ansible.posix`` collection. A redirection is active, which will be removed in version 2.0.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/623).
+- git_config - added parameter and scope ``file`` allowing user to change parameters in a custom file (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/1021).

These options also change the state of the agent checks to match the requested state for the backend (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/684).
+- homebrew_cask - Homebrew will be deprecating use of ``brew cask`` commands as of version 2.6.0, see https://brew.sh/2020/12/01/homebrew-2.6.0/. Added logic to stop using ``brew cask`` for brew version >= 2.6.0 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/1481).

+- iptables_state - use FQCN when calling a module from action plugin (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/967).
+- jc - new filter to convert the output of many shell commands and file-types to JSON. Uses the jc library at https://github.com/kellyjonbrazil/jc. For example, filtering the STDOUT output of ``uname -a`` via ``{{ result.stdout | community.general.jc('uname') }}``. Requires Python 3.6+ (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/750).

+Breaking Changes / Porting Guide
+--------------------------------
+
+- If you use Ansible 2.9 and the Google cloud plugins or modules from this collection, community.general 2.0.0 results in errors when trying to use the Google cloud content by FQCN, like ``community.general.gce_img``.
+  Since Ansible 2.9 is not able to use redirections, you will have to adjust your playbooks and roles manually to use the new FQCNs (``community.google.gce_img`` for the previous example) and to make sure that you have ``community.google`` installed.
+
+  If you use ansible-base 2.10 or newer and did not install Ansible 3.0.0, but installed (and/or upgraded) community.general manually, you need to make sure to also install the ``community.google`` or ``google.cloud`` collections if you are using any of the Google cloud plugins or modules.
+  While ansible-base 2.10 or newer can use the redirects that community.general 2.0.0 adds, the collection they point to (such as community.google) must be installed for them to work.

+- The Google cloud inventory script ``gce.py`` has been migrated to the ``community.google`` collection. Install the ``community.google`` collection in order to continue using it.
+- archive - remove path folder itself when ``remove`` paramater is true (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/1041).
+- log_plays callback - add missing information to the logs generated by the callback plugin. This changes the log message format (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/442).
+- passwordstore lookup plugin - now parsing a password store entry as YAML if possible, skipping the first line (which by convention only contains the password and nothing else). If it cannot be parsed as YAML, the old ``key: value`` parser will be used to process the entry. Can break backwards compatibility if YAML formatted code was parsed in a non-YAML interpreted way, e.g. ``foo: [bar, baz]`` will become a list with two elements in the new version, but a string ``'[bar, baz]'`` in the old (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/1673).
+- pkgng - passing ``name: *`` with ``state: absent`` will no longer remove every installed package from the system. It is now a noop. (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/569).
+- pkgng - passing ``name: *`` with ``state: latest`` or ``state: present`` will no longer install every package from the configured package repositories. Instead, ``name: *, state: latest`` will upgrade all already-installed packages, and ``name: *, state: present`` is a noop. (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/569).
+- proxmox_kvm - recognize ``force=yes`` in conjunction with ``state=absent`` to forcibly remove a running VM (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/849).

+-------------------
+
+- The ``gluster_heal_info``, ``gluster_peer`` and ``gluster_volume`` modules have migrated to the `gluster.gluster <https://galaxy.ansible.com/gluster/gluster>`_ collection.

+- pacman - treat package names containing .zst as package files during installation (https://www.archlinux.org/news/now-using-zstandard-instead-of-xz-for-package-compression/, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/650).
+- pamd - added logic to retain the comment line (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/1394).
+- parted - fix creating partition when label is changed (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/522).
+- passwordstore lookup plugin - always use explicit ``show`` command to retrieve password. This ensures compatibility with ``gopass`` and avoids problems when password names equal ``pass`` commands (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/1493).
+- passwordstore lookup plugin - fix compatibility with gopass when used with ``create=true``. While pass returns 1 on a non-existent password, gopass returns 10, or 11, depending on whether a similar named password was stored. We now just check standard output and that the return code is not zero (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/1589).
+- pbrun become plugin - address a bug with the parameters handling that was breaking the plugin in community.general when ``become_user`` was not explicitly specified (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/708).
+- pkg5 - now works when Python 3 is used on the target (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/789).
+- profitbricks_nic - removed the dynamic default for ``name`` param (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/1423).
+- profitbricks_nic - replaced code with ``required`` and ``required_if`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/1423).
+- proxmox_kvm - defer error-checking for non-existent VMs in order to fix idempotency of tasks using ``state=absent`` and properly recognize a success (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/811).
+- proxmox_kvm - fix issue causing linked clones not being create by allowing ``format=unspecified`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/1027).
+- proxmox_kvm - ignore unsupported ``pool`` parameter on update (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/1258).
+- proxmox_kvm - improve handling of long-running tasks by creating a dedicated function (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/831).
+- redfish_info module, redfish_utils module utils - correct ``PartNumber`` property name in Redfish ``GetMemoryInventory`` command (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/1483).
+- redfish_info, redfish_config, redfish_command - Fix Redfish response payload decode on Python 3.5 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/686)
+- redis - fixes parsing of config values which should not be converted to bytes (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/1079).
+- redis cache plugin - make sure that plugin errors out on initialization if the required library is not found, and not on load-time (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/1297).
+- rhn_channel - Python 2.7.5 fails if the certificate should not be validated. Fixed this by creating the correct ``ssl_context`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/470).
+- saltstack connection plugin - use ``hashutil.base64_decodefile`` to ensure that the file checksum is preserved (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/1472).
+- selective - mark task failed correctly (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/63767).
+- sendgrid - update documentation and warn user about sendgrid Python library version (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/1553).
+- slack - avoid trying to update existing message when sending messages that contain the string "ts" (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/1097).
+- slack - fix ``xox[abp]`` token identification to capture everything after ``xox[abp]``, as the token is the only thing that should be in this argument (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/862).
+- snmp_facts - skip ``EndOfMibView`` values (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/49044).
+- solaris_zone - fixed issue trying to configure zone in Python 3 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/1081).
+- syslogger - update ``syslog.openlog`` API call for older Python versions, and improve error handling (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/953).
+- syspatch - fix bug where not setting ``apply=true`` would result in error (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/360).
+- terraform - fix ``init_reconfigure`` option for proper CLI args (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/1620).
+- terraform - fix incorrectly reporting a status of unchanged when number of resources added or destroyed are multiples of 10 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/561).
+- terraform - improve result code checking when executing terraform commands (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/1632).

+- vmadm - simplification of code (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/1415).
+- xfconf - add in missing return values that are specified in the documentation (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/1418).
+- xfconf - make it work in non-english locales (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/744).
+- xfconf - parameter ``value`` no longer required for state ``absent`` (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/1329).
+- xfconf - xfconf no longer passing the command args as a string, but rather as a list (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/1328).

-# Contributing
-
-We follow [Ansible Code of Conduct](https://docs.ansible.com/projects/ansible/latest/community/code_of_conduct.html) in all our contributions and interactions within this repository.
-
-If you are a committer, also refer to the [collection's committer guidelines](https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/blob/main/commit-rights.md).
-
-## Issue tracker
-
-Whether you are looking for an opportunity to contribute or you found a bug and already know how to solve it, please go to the [issue tracker](https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues).
-There you can find feature ideas to implement, reports about bugs to solve, or submit an issue to discuss your idea before implementing it which can help choose a right direction at the beginning of your work and potentially save a lot of time and effort.
-Also somebody may already have started discussing or working on implementing the same or a similar idea,
-so you can cooperate to create a better solution together.
-
-* If you are interested in starting with an easy issue, look for [issues with an `easyfix` label](https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/labels/easyfix).
-* Often issues that are waiting for contributors to pick up have [the `waiting_on_contributor` label](https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/labels/waiting_on_contributor).
-
-## Review pull requests
-
-Look through currently [open pull requests](https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pulls).
-
-You can help by reviewing them. Reviews help move pull requests to merge state. Some good pull requests cannot be merged only due to a lack of reviews. And it is always worth saying that good reviews are often more valuable than pull requests themselves.
-Note that reviewing does not only mean code review, but also offering comments on new interfaces added to existing plugins/modules, interfaces of new plugins/modules, improving language (not everyone is a native English speaker), or testing bugfixes and new features!
-
-Also, consider taking up a valuable, reviewed, but abandoned pull request which you could politely ask the original authors to complete yourself.
-
-## Open pull requests
-
-Please read our ['Contributing to collections'](https://docs.ansible.com/projects/ansible/devel/dev_guide/developing_collections_contributing.html#contributing-to-a-collection-community-general) guide.
-
-* Try committing your changes with an informative but short commit message.
-* Do not squash your commits and force-push to your branch if not needed. Reviews of your pull request are much easier with individual commits to comprehend the pull request history. All commits of your pull request branch will be squashed into one commit by GitHub upon merge.
-* Do not add merge commits to your PR. The bot will complain and you will have to rebase ([instructions for rebasing](https://docs.ansible.com/projects/ansible/latest/dev_guide/developing_rebasing.html)) to remove them before your PR can be merged. To avoid that git automatically does merges during pulls, you can configure it to do rebases instead by running `git config pull.rebase true` inside the repository checkout.
-* Make sure your PR includes a [changelog fragment](https://docs.ansible.com/projects/ansible/devel/community/collection_development_process.html#creating-a-changelog-fragment).
-  * You must not include a fragment for new modules or new plugins. Also you shouldn't include one for docs-only changes. (If you're not sure, simply don't include one, we'll tell you whether one is needed or not :) )
-  * Please always include a link to the pull request itself, and if the PR is about an issue, also a link to the issue. Also make sure the fragment ends with a period, and begins with a lower-case letter after `-`. (Again, if you don't do this, we'll add suggestions to fix it, so don't worry too much :) )
-* Note that we format the code with `ruff format`. If your change does not match the formatters expectations, CI will fail and your PR will not get merged. See below for how to format code with antsibull-nox.
-
-You can also read the Ansible community's [Quick-start development guide](https://docs.ansible.com/projects/ansible/devel/community/create_pr_quick_start.html).
-
-## Test pull requests
-
-If you want to test a PR locally, refer to [our testing guide](https://docs.ansible.com/projects/ansible/devel/community/collection_contributors/collection_test_pr_locally.html) for instructions on how do it quickly.
-
-If you find any inconsistencies or places in this document which can be improved, feel free to raise an issue or pull request to fix it.
-
-## Format code; and run sanity or unit tests locally (with antsibull-nox)
-
-The easiest way to format the code, and to run sanity and unit tests locally is to use [antsibull-nox](https://docs.ansible.com/projects/antsibull-nox/).
-(If you have [nox](https://nox.thea.codes/en/stable/) installed, it will automatically install antsibull-nox in a virtual environment for you.)
-
-### Format code
-
-The following commands show how to run ruff format:
-
-```.bash
-# Run all configured formatters:
-nox -Re formatters
-
-# If you notice discrepancies between your local formatter and CI, you might
-# need to re-generate the virtual environment:
-nox -e formatters
-```
-
-### Sanity tests
-
-The following commands show how to run ansible-test sanity tests:
-
-```.bash
-# Run basic sanity tests for all files in the collection:
-nox -Re ansible-test-sanity-devel
-
-# Run basic sanity tests for the given files and directories:
-nox -Re ansible-test-sanity-devel -- plugins/modules/system/pids.py tests/integration/targets/pids/
-
-# Run all other sanity tests for all files in the collection:
-nox -R
-```
-
-If you replace `-Re` with `-e`, respectively. If you leave `-R` away, then the virtual environments will be re-created. The `-R` re-uses them (if they already exist).
-
-### Unit tests
-
-The following commands show how to run unit tests:
-
-```.bash
-# Run all unit tests:
-nox -Re ansible-test-units-devel
-
-# Run all unit tests for one Python version (a lot faster):
-nox -Re ansible-test-units-devel -- --python 3.13
-
-# Run a specific unit test (for the nmcli module) for one Python version:
-nox -Re ansible-test-units-devel -- --python 3.13 tests/unit/plugins/modules/net_tools/test_nmcli.py
-```
-
-If you replace `-Re` with `-e`, then the virtual environments will be re-created. The `-R` re-uses them (if they already exist).
-
-## Run basic sanity, unit or integration tests locally (with ansible-test)
-
-Instead of using antsibull-nox, you can also run sanity and unit tests with ansible-test directly.
-This also allows you to run integration tests.
-
-You have to check out the repository into a specific path structure to be able to run `ansible-test`. The path to the git checkout must end with `.../ansible_collections/community/general`. Please see [our testing guide](https://docs.ansible.com/projects/ansible/devel/community/collection_contributors/collection_test_pr_locally.html) for instructions on how to check out the repository into a correct path structure. The short version of these instructions is:
-
-```.bash
-mkdir -p ~/dev/ansible_collections/community
-git clone https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general.git ~/dev/ansible_collections/community/general
-cd ~/dev/ansible_collections/community/general
-```
-
-Then you can run `ansible-test` (which is a part of [ansible-core](https://pypi.org/project/ansible-core/)) inside the checkout. The following example commands expect that you have installed Docker or Podman. Note that Podman has only been supported by more recent ansible-core releases. If you are using Docker, the following will work with Ansible 2.9+.
-
-### Basic sanity tests
-
-The following commands show how to run basic sanity tests:
-
-```.bash
-# Run basic sanity tests for all files in the collection:
-ansible-test sanity --docker -v
-
-# Run basic sanity tests for the given files and directories:
-ansible-test sanity --docker -v plugins/modules/system/pids.py tests/integration/targets/pids/
-```
-
-### Unit tests
-
-Note that for running unit tests, you need to install required collections in the same folder structure that `community.general` is checked out in.
-Right now, you need to install [`community.internal_test_tools`](https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.internal_test_tools).
-If you want to use the latest version from GitHub, you can run:
-
-```
-git clone https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.internal_test_tools.git ~/dev/ansible_collections/community/internal_test_tools
-```
-
-The following commands show how to run unit tests:
-
-```.bash
-# Run all unit tests:
-ansible-test units --docker -v
-
-# Run all unit tests for one Python version (a lot faster):
-ansible-test units --docker -v --python 3.8
-
-# Run a specific unit test (for the nmcli module) for one Python version:
-ansible-test units --docker -v --python 3.8 tests/unit/plugins/modules/net_tools/test_nmcli.py
-```
-
-### Integration tests
-
-Note that for running integration tests, you need to install required collections in the same folder structure that `community.general` is checked out in.
-Right now, depending on the test, you need to install [`ansible.posix`](https://github.com/ansible-collections/ansible.posix), [`community.crypto`](https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.crypto), and [`community.docker`](https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker):
-If you want to use the latest versions from GitHub, you can run:
-
-```
-mkdir -p ~/dev/ansible_collections/ansible
-git clone https://github.com/ansible-collections/ansible.posix.git ~/dev/ansible_collections/ansible/posix
-git clone https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.crypto.git ~/dev/ansible_collections/community/crypto
-git clone https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker.git ~/dev/ansible_collections/community/docker
-```
-
-The following commands show how to run integration tests:
-
-#### In Docker
-
-Integration tests on Docker have the following parameters:
-
- `image_name` (required): The name of the Docker image. To get the list of supported Docker images, run
-  `ansible-test integration --help` and look for _target docker images_.
- `test_name` (optional): The name of the integration test.
-  For modules, this equals the short name of the module; for example, `pacman` in case of `community.general.pacman`.
-  For plugins, the plugin type is added before the plugin's short name, for example `callback_yaml` for the `community.general.yaml` callback.
-
-```.bash
-# Test all plugins/modules on fedora40
-ansible-test integration -v --docker fedora40
-
-# Template
-ansible-test integration -v --docker image_name test_name
-
-# Example community.general.ini_file module on fedora40 Docker image:
-ansible-test integration -v --docker fedora40 ini_file
-```
-
-#### Without isolation
-
-```.bash
-# Run integration tests for the flattened lookup **without any isolation**:
-ansible-test integration -v lookup_flattened
-```
-
-If you are unsure about the integration test target name for a module or plugin, you can take a look in `tests/integration/targets/`. Tests for plugins have the plugin type prepended.
-
-## Devcontainer
-
-Since community.general 12.2.0, the project repository supports [devcontainers](https://containers.dev/). In short, it is a standard mechanism to
-create a container that is then used during the development cycle. Many tools are pre-installed in the container and will be already available
-to you as a developer. A number of different IDEs support that configuration, the most prominent ones being VSCode and PyCharm.
-
-See the files under [.devcontainer](.devcontainer) for details on what is deployed inside that container.
-
-Beware of:
-
- By default, the devcontainer installs the latest version of `ansible-core`.
-  When testing your changes locally, keep in mind that the collection must support older versions of
-  `ansible-core` and, depending on what is being tested, results may vary.
- Integration tests executed directly inside the devcontainer without isolation (see above) may fail if
-  they expected to be run in full fledged VMs. On the other hand, the devcontainer setup allows running
-  containers inside the container (the `docker-in-docker` feature).
- The devcontainer is built with a directory structure such that
-  `.../ansible_collections/community/general` contains the project repository, so `ansible-test` and
-  other standard tools should work without any additional setup
- By default, the devcontainer installs `pre-commit` and configures it to perform `ruff check` and
-  `ruff format` on the Python files, prior to commiting. That configuration is going to be used by
-  `git` even outside the devcontainer. To prevent errors, you have to either install `pre-commit` in
-  your computer, outside the devcontainer, or run `pre-commit uninstall` from within the devcontainer
-  before quitting it.
-
-## Creating new modules or plugins
-
-Creating new modules and plugins requires a bit more work than other Pull Requests.
-
-1. Please make sure that your new module or plugin is of interest to a larger audience. Very specialized modules or plugins that
-   can only be used by very few people should better be added to more specialized collections.
-
-2. Please do not add more than one plugin/module in one PR, especially if it is the first plugin/module you are contributing.
-   That makes it easier for reviewers, and increases the chance that your PR will get merged. If you plan to contribute a group
-   of plugins/modules (say, more than a module and a corresponding `_info` module), please mention that in the first PR. In
-   such cases, you also have to think whether it is better to publish the group of plugins/modules in a new collection.
-
-3. When creating a new module or plugin, please make sure that you follow various guidelines:
-
-   - Follow [development conventions](https://docs.ansible.com/projects/ansible/devel/dev_guide/developing_modules_best_practices.html);
-   - Follow [documentation standards](https://docs.ansible.com/projects/ansible/devel/dev_guide/developing_modules_documenting.html) and
-     the [Ansible style guide](https://docs.ansible.com/projects/ansible/devel/dev_guide/style_guide/index.html#style-guide);
-   - Make sure your modules and plugins are [GPL-3.0-or-later](https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-3.0-standalone.html) licensed
-     (new module_utils can also be [BSD-2-clause](https://opensource.org/licenses/BSD-2-Clause) licensed);
-   - Make sure that new plugins and modules have tests (unit tests, integration tests, or both); it is preferable to have some tests
-     which run in CI.
-
-4. Action plugins need to be accompanied by a module, even if the module file only contains documentation
-   (`DOCUMENTATION`, `EXAMPLES` and `RETURN`). The module must have the same name and directory path in `plugins/modules/`
-   than the action plugin has in `plugins/action/`.
-
-5. Make sure to add a BOTMETA entry for your new module/plugin in `.github/BOTMETA.yml`. Search for other plugins/modules in the
-   same directory to see how entries could look. You should list all authors either as `maintainers` or under `ignore`. People
-   listed as `maintainers` will be pinged for new issues and PRs that modify the module/plugin or its tests.
-
-   When you add a new plugin/module, we expect that you perform maintainer duty for at least some time after contributing it.
