Include dev version upload to mitigate namespace issues
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
As discussed in the 07/25 SIG, we will begin releasing dummy versions of new packages immediately after the corresponding PR has been merged to mitigate name-squatting incidents.

Also included an excerpt in CONTRIBUTING.md to confirm whether namespaces have already been taken before the addition of new packages.

## Releasing dev version of new packages to claim namespace

When a contribution introduces a new package, in order to mitigate name-squatting incidents, release the current development version of the new package under the `opentelemetry` user to simply claim the namespace. This should be done shortly after the PR that introduced this package has been merged into `main`.
