Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
OpenTelemetry is becoming a popular open-source solution for monitoring application performance. Well-defined semantic conventions are supplied for HTTP metrics and traces. See here: https://opentelemetry.io/docs/specs/semconv/http/
In following with their guidance on instrumentation, they recommend implementing instrumentation code in the library for which it is written: https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-go-contrib/tree/main/instrumentation#new-instrumentation
Describe the solution that you would like.
If interested, I would be willing to contribute instrumentation code that implements OpenTelemetry metrics and tracing as a middleware for mux. Please let me know if you would like me to proceed with opening a PR.
Describe alternatives you have considered.
I have opened an issue to explore updating the current otelmux instrumentation: https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-go-contrib/issues/5936
However, current guidance from OpenTelemetry is to seek to include instrumentation with the libraries/packages themselves, thus why I am opening this issue.
Anything else?

Hey @jwafle - I think this would be a wonderful thing to add to the library. You have my support to go ahead with a PR for this.

Great! I'll work on opening a PR!
