Remove otelbeego

[pellared]

Problem Statement

The https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-go-contrib/tree/main/instrumentation/github.com/astaxie/beego/otelbeego instrumentation library instruments https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/astaxie/beego library that is no longer maintained (old version with security vulns.

The latest version of beego already has some OTel support e.g. https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/beego/beego/v2@v2.1.0/client/httplib/filter/opentelemetry and https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/beego/beego/v2/client/orm/filter/opentelemetry

There was already an issue to add OTel instrumentation into beego: beego/beego#4945. This approach would be more inline with our current recommendation.

Proposed Solution

Deprecate https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-go-contrib/tree/main/instrumentation/github.com/astaxie/beego/otelbeego in next release.

Afterwards, as part of a subsequent release, remove the module from codebase and from the OTel Registry (https://opentelemetry.io/ecosystem/registry/adding/)

Given we never had anyone raise their hand to dedicate themselves as a maintainer:

instrumentation/github.com/astaxie/beego/otelbeego/ @open-telemetry/go-approvers

This seems appropriate to me 👍
