…ic components (open-telemetry#33079)

Our notion of vendor-specific components and the corresponding
round-robin sponsorship process were defined in order to ensure that all
vendors have an opportunity to be included in the contrib repository.
This PR adds a constraint on the auto-assignment of sponsors so that
obligatory sponsorship is not unlimited for any vendor. Vendors which
wish to contribute many components may still do so using the normal
voluntary sponsorship process.

providing the following information:
* Who's the sponsor for your component. A sponsor is an approver who will be in charge of being the official reviewer of
the code and become a code owner for the component. For vendor-specific components, it's good to have a volunteer
sponsor. If you can't find one, we'll assign one in a round-robin fashion. A vendor-specific component directly interfaces
with a vendor-specific API and is expected to be maintained by a representative of the same vendor. For non-vendor specific
components, having a sponsor means that your use case has been validated.
* Who's the sponsor for your component. A sponsor is an approver or maintainer who will be the official reviewer of the code and a code owner
for the component. For vendor-specific components, it is always preferred to find a sponsor. However, if the vendor has not yet contributed
a component of the same class (i.e. receiver, processor, exporter, connector, or extension), then a sponsor will be assigned in a
round-robin fashion. In all other cases, you will need to find a sponsor for the component in order for it to be accepted.
* Some information about your component, such as the reasoning behind it, use-cases, telemetry data types supported, and
anything else you think is relevant for us to make a decision about accepting the component.
* The configuration options your component will accept. This will give us a better understanding of what it does, and
