Mentioned this idea in the 8/1 java SIG. I think a more active approach to soliciting contributors may help.

If we merge this PR, I will get in the habit of actively using the help wanted label to indicate project priorities.

We are currently resource constrained and are actively seeking new contributors interested in working towards [approver](https://github.com/open-telemetry/community/blob/main/guides/contributor/membership.md#approver) / [maintainer](https://github.com/open-telemetry/community/blob/main/guides/contributor/membership.md#maintainer) roles. In addition to the documentation for approver / maintainer roles and the [contributing](./CONTRIBUTING.md) guide, here are some additional notes on engaging:

- [Pull request](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-java/pulls) reviews are equally or more helpful than code contributions. Comments and approvals are valuable with or without a formal project role. They're also a great forcing function to explore a fairly complex codebase.
- Attending the [Java: SDK + Automatic Instrumentation](https://github.com/open-telemetry/community?tab=readme-ov-file#implementation-sigs) SIG is a great way to get to know community members and learn about project priorities.
