### Library Inclusion in the Erlang Contrib Repository Policy
4+
5+
Maintaining libraries can be a demanding task. Due to the limited number of maintainers, any library added to the
6+
contrib repository must have an OpenTelemetry CNCF Erlang Contrib Approver or Maintainer as a sponsor. [Becoming a member](https://github.com/open-telemetry/community/blob/main/guides/contributor/membership.md) and approver is a simple
7+
process. Following approval, the library can be merged and you will be added as a codeowner for it.
8+
9+
This policy has been enacted to be respectful of the maintainers' time and to ensure users get timely responses
10+
and regular updates. We want as many libraries to be under the official umbrella but need your commmitment to
11+
make that happen.
