Flatcar CNCF Graduation Criteria Tracking

[John15321]

This issue will track Flatcar's progress toward meeting the CNCF graduation requirements, referencing ongoing discussions, documentation, and work. It serves as a context point for any activities and evidence related to the project’s readiness for CNCF graduation, including governance, contributor health, adoption, security, and sustainability.

A comprehensive sheet for tracking every requirement and its status is maintained here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Dv2L-JAvleWCp4iMyKvhjxV1-jOl9R1AE5DrguSn7Qc/edit?gid=1601591907#gid=1601591907

Updates and supporting links should be added as relevant milestones are met or new information becomes available.
