Understanding the Future of Ingress-nginx

summary
Community survey shows most users value load balancing and open source, run a mix of Kubernetes versions (many still on 1.21 or older), and ask for Helm docs, Gateway API and stability. Stabilization work focuses on security (new scanners, OSSF guidance), automated release notes and N minus three support, plus a planned control plane/data plane split to isolate API access. Complexity is high: ~43 NGINX dependencies, 100+ e2e tests and a release process that went from ~4 hours to ~10 minutes; maintainership help is requested.
