+
+The Go SIG will remove the code of contrib modules that lack code owners
+starting August 21, 2024. Published packages and releases will be marked as
+deprecated, though they'll remain available for download.
+
+Currently unowned modules include the following:
+
+- [`go.opentelemetry.io/contrib/detectors/aws/ec2`](https://pkg.go.dev/go.opentelemetry.io/contrib/detectors/aws/ec2)
+- [`go.opentelemetry.io/contrib/detectors/aws/ecs`](https://pkg.go.dev/go.opentelemetry.io/contrib/detectors/aws/ecs)
+- [`go.opentelemetry.io/contrib/detectors/aws/eks`](https://pkg.go.dev/go.opentelemetry.io/contrib/detectors/aws/eks)
+- [`go.opentelemetry.io/contrib/detectors/aws/lambda`](https://pkg.go.dev/go.opentelemetry.io/contrib/detectors/aws/lambda)
+- [`go.opentelemetry.io/contrib/instrumentation/github.com/aws/aws-lambda-go/otellambda`](https://pkg.go.dev/go.opentelemetry.io/contrib/instrumentation/github.com/aws/aws-lambda-go/otellambda)
+- [`go.opentelemetry.io/contrib/instrumentation/github.com/aws/aws-sdk-go-v2/otelaws`](https://pkg.go.dev/go.opentelemetry.io/contrib/instrumentation/github.com/aws/aws-sdk-go-v2/otelaws)
+- [`go.opentelemetry.io/contrib/instrumentation/github.com/gorilla/mux/otelmux`](https://pkg.go.dev/go.opentelemetry.io/contrib/instrumentation/github.com/gorilla/mux/otelmux)
+- [`go.opentelemetry.io/contrib/instrumentation/github.com/labstack/echo/otelecho`](https://pkg.go.dev/go.opentelemetry.io/contrib/instrumentation/github.com/labstack/echo/otelecho)
+- [`go.opentelemetry.io/contrib/instrumentation/go.mongodb.org/mongo-driver/mongo/otelmongo`](https://pkg.go.dev/go.opentelemetry.io/contrib/instrumentation/go.mongodb.org/mongo-driver/mongo/otelmongo)
+- [`go.opentelemetry.io/contrib/instrumentation/gopkg.in/macaron.v1/otelmacaron`](https://pkg.go.dev/go.opentelemetry.io/contrib/instrumentation/gopkg.in/macaron.v1/otelmacaron)
+- [`go.opentelemetry.io/contrib/propagators/aws`](https://pkg.go.dev/go.opentelemetry.io/contrib/propagators/aws)
+- [`go.opentelemetry.io/contrib/samplers/aws/xray`](https://pkg.go.dev/go.opentelemetry.io/contrib/samplers/aws/xray)
+
+For a full list of modules at risk for removal, see the
+[Remove unowned moduled](https://github.com/orgs/open-telemetry/projects/92/views/1)
+project board.
+
+## Why are those modules going to be removed?
+
+As described in the Go Contrib
+[contributions guidelines](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-go-contrib/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md#code-owners),
+all Contrib modules require a code owner so that the code is not abandoned. Code
+owners have the responsibility of maintaining the component, responding to
+issues, and reviewing pull requests.
+
+## I want to become a code owner! What do I do?
+
+To become a code owner of one of the modules, you need to be a member of the
+OpenTelemetry organization and have a good working knowledge of the code you
+seek to maintain. To become a member of OpenTelemetry in GitHub, see the
+requirements in
+[Community membership](https://github.com/open-telemetry/community/blob/main/community-membership.md#requirements).
+
+If you satisfy all requirements,
+[open an issue](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-go-contrib/issues/new?assignees=&labels=&projects=&template=owner.md&title=).
+
+We're looking forward to your request!
