I don't see a need for this. What additional information does this provide
over what can be found via a quick google search?

My primary concern is that we are getting in the business of listing
vendors in the project site which brings it's own complications without
adding much additional value for users. In the spirit of being vendor
neutral, I would try to avoid this as much as possible.

So, my question to you is:
1. What value does additional of this page bring to the users of Apache
Kafka?
2. When a new PR is submitted to add a vendor, what criteria do we have to
decide whether to add them or not? If we keep a blanket criteria of
accepting all PRs, then we may end up in a situation where the llink
redirects to a phishing page or nefarious website. Hence, we might have to
at least perform some basic due diligence which adds overhead to the
resources of the community.
