In my company, we use Huawei, Cisco, and Juniper switches. When researching the modules, I noticed that most of the available modules for Huawei are being discontinued, while the modules for Cisco and Juniper are abundant. Who is responsible for developing the Ansible modules for these platforms? Is it Red Hat itself?

Judging by this thread [[Vote ended on 2024-10-07] Should we remove community.network from the Ansible community package?](https://forum.ansible.com/t/vote-ended-on-2024-10-07-should-we-remove-community-network-from-the-ansible-community-package/8030) and how huawei was part of this community.network collection (per Google, as I don’t have any huawei switches), it would seem nobody was maintaining the collection and it was thusly deprecated
