I think this makes sense at this stage of the project.
I included a suggestion for some phrasing that having a component in contrib isn't essential to having a component the issue opener or their users can leverage for their use cases. I think the fact that so many components are contained in contrib and components living in other repositories aren't widely publicized may lead to an impression that being in contrib is a requirement for having a usable component.

As OpenTelemetry grows we're seeing more and more component proposals and are experiencing more new components that then get abandoned by their sponsors, leaving the community to pick up the slack. As we are stabilizing more and more collector APIs it becomes more feasible for component authors to maintain components in their own repositories. I agree that we have out-grown this rule.
…d sponsorship (open-telemetry#35961) I propose that we move to a purely voluntary sponsorship requirement going forward. --------- Co-authored-by: Evan Bradley <[email protected]>
