Tell us about your request
Revision of current Docker Hub limitation for 25,000 characters in description field.

Which service(s) is this request for?
Docker Hub

Tell us about the problem you're trying to solve. What are you trying to do, and why is it hard?
Given that support for hosting Helm charts was recently introduced, perhaps current limitation should be revised.
My general impression is that the documentation for Helm charts is potentially much more extensive than image documentation.

For instance, the company I work for hosts Helm charts on Docker Hub, but is unable to push it's documentation because of this limit and is forced to keep in on a remote host. Typical Helm chart documentation size for those charts is about 50,000 characters, so my suggestion is that new limit should be set to at least 50k-100k characters (maybe even only for Helm artifacts?).

Are you currently working around the issue?
Current workaround is to keep documentation on a remote host, which is more complex to implement and maintain.

EDIT:
The workaround is especially problematic if you want to use private Helm charts, forcing users to authenticate twice, plus the maintenance of the additional auth service itself...
