VMware's acquisition by Broadcom left dead/broken documentation links
and stale email addresses scattered across the repo. Fix the ones that
are actually broken and drop the ones that no longer make sense to
keep, verifying each replacement URL resolves before landing it:
- Replace dead VMware doc links (vSphere Web Services API reference
pages, ESXCLI docs, the Tanzu/VMware Salt product page, the privacy
policy link) with their current broadcom.com/developer.broadcom.com/
techdocs.broadcom.com equivalents.
- Drop a dead 2012 VMware blog link and a dead VMware Flings deep
link, keeping the surrounding explanatory text.
- Strip personal @vmware.com addresses from :codeauthor: docstring
attributions, keeping the author names.
- Switch the packaging automation email used in changelog generation
and most CI workflows to saltproject.pdl@broadcom.com going forward.
Historical changelog/spec entries are left untouched as a record of
what was true at the time. release.yml, which GPG-signs commits/
tags, keeps the old saltproject-packaging@vmware.com identity until
it's confirmed the signing key has a UID for the new address, so we
don't lose GitHub's commit verification.
- Rename the changelog-author string in tools/changelog.py from "Salt
Project Packaging" to "Salt Project", since there's no longer a
separate packaging distro. Left as-is everywhere the name is tied to
git config, to keep this change scoped to non-git-signing metadata.
Regenerated .github/workflows/{ci,nightly,scheduled,staging}.yml via
the generate-workflows pre-commit hook.
