Here[1] is a link to the rules that collections must follow in order to
be included in the `ansible` bundle. Here[2] is a link to the build
data repository for the `ansible` package. This includes which versions
of the collections exist in each version of the `ansible` package, as
well as which versions of `ansible-core` each `ansible` package depends
on. The Ansible team uses antsibull[3] to compile these releases.

Thanks,
Maxwell
