/retitle [WIP] Add blog for reworked volume health

[SwathiR03]

Hi, @gnufied , Swathi from the Release Comms Team here. We're currently reaching out to all Alpha KEPs as we would like to reduce the number of feature blogs for the upcoming release.

We currently have 30 feature blogs scheduled for the 1.37 release. Although technical reviews by buddies are still feasible, this becomes a large number of blogs for SIG Docs and the Release Comms teams to review. Besides this, releasing a large number of blogs can reduce the reader's attention towards features.

Here are some alternatives I would like to suggest:

1. If a feature blog can wait reaches the next stage(Alpha->Beta), please think of deferring. Instead, you can share a short paragraph on this feature which we will include in the 1.37 release announcement blog..
2. If any of these features are relevant enough to be combined, please consider writing a combined feature blog for the larger feature(similar to the DRA and WAS blogs this cycle).
3. If a blog for this feature has previously been written and very little has changed, it might be a good idea to wait until there are larger changes to share with end-users. .
4. Consider writing a "call to action" style blog on k8s.dev post this release.

Really appreciate your support on this! I would appreciate a quicker response if possible, since there are a few more release-related tasks that will need to be co-ordinated once we're clear on this!

[SwathiR03]

Also, wanted to add that this feature will be having a write-up in our mid-cycle blog as well

Hi @gnufied, we would be starting with the announcement blog after July 28th (after our mid-cycle blog is published).

If you have something written already, feel free to leave it in this doc (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1o__KrM1PpGGreayRhzuBAHudEo736OylI5fkS1zFl7A/edit?usp=sharing), and we will make sure to include it in our release announcement blog.

Also, I see this KEP (KEP-1432) is featured with SIG Storage, SIG Node, and SIG Auth. Are there any other SIGs that are part of this KEP?
