I’ve drafted some documentation to answer the questions in this Discourse thread. See my WIP PR here:

> <https://github.com/JuliaRegistries/General/pull/149502>

That PR is the result of internal discussion and review by the registry maintainers. However, some maintainers are still working on reviewing it, so I may make edits/updates based on their feedback.

We can continue to have the discussion in this Discourse thread (no need to move the discussion to the PR).
