[Question] Are there plans to support he new Alerting Provisioning API from Grafana?

What you expected to happen?

I expected to be able to use AlertRules to create new style alerts as specified by the official docs here https://grafana.com/docs/grafana/latest/developers/http_api/alerting_provisioning/

What happened?

I noticed examples are targeted to v8 and v9 of the alerts

• https://github.com/weaveworks/grafanalib/blob/main/grafanalib/tests/examples/example.upload-alerts.py
• https://github.com/weaveworks/grafanalib/blob/main/grafanalib/tests/examples/example.alertsv9.alertgroup.py
• https://github.com/weaveworks/grafanalib/blob/main/grafanalib/tests/examples/example.alertsv8.alertgroup.py

but there's no support for the new type of alerts available since grafana v10 https://grafana.com/blog/2024/03/06/grafana-10.4-release-all-the-latest-features/#grafana-alerting Since grafana v11 release, these are the only supported type of alerts.

How to reproduce it?

Run https://github.com/weaveworks/grafanalib/blob/main/grafanalib/tests/examples/example.upload-alerts.py and print the json output after get_alert_json call. When comparing the request structure one can notice it will fail creating alerts in grafana v11.

I understand this is an open source project with no financial support so there's no expectation from me that library mantainers should support this new version. I just want to check if there's a roadmap of support or if the library is considered in mantainance mode without room for new features. Would you consider pull requests adding this feature?

@nambrosini17 given that Weaveworks company doesn't exist anymore, I would suspect that there won't be any ongoing features added :(
