I have a proof of concept PR - https://github.com/twisted/twisted/pull/1422

Read the Docs version of Twisted containing the full documentation -
narrative + API.

You can check it here - https://twisted--1422.org.readthedocs.build/en/1422/

With API link in the main page and at
https://twisted--1422.org.readthedocs.build/en/1422/api/index.html

-------

I would say that for the first weeks after the release, we can have the
documentation only on Read The Docs with the read the docs theme...
but it can be confusing if we don't also update
https://twistedmatrix.com/documents/current/ docs.

Later we can enable the Twisted own theme.. if we want.

I think that many seach indexes are using
https://twistedmatrix.com/documents/current/api/twisted.html

So after the release we should decide if we  should mirror the docs from
Read The docs to the Twisted own VM... or create a reverse proxy, or create
a redirection.

--------------

All this Read the Docs hosting is implemented as it doesn't require any
extra permissions and is already integrated with the VCS.

We can automatically build the docs via GitHub actions, but the problem is
how we get them to the Twisted main server.
Allowing GitHub actions to push random stuff can be a security issue... and
implementing a restrictive SFTP server ono the Twisted main server requires
extra work.
