Description

I think it would be really neat to have a well organized list of Avatica clients on the website. This would make clients much more discoverable and make Avatica and Calcite much more easier for people to get started with. For example, Kafka has a wiki page with their clients here: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/Clients

1. Most of the clients currently available (the .NET and python ones) are currently targeted towards Apache Phoenix. Should we include these clients? If not, is there a process for reaching out to their maintainers to see if they are interested in generalising them to target Avatica?

2. Is there any process for including a client on such a page? Should anyone be able to add the client, or do we need explicit permission from the maintainers?

3. To reduce friction, is it viable to have a wiki page, so that maintainers can easily add their own clients?
