These were the most seemingly active projects that I could find in https://github.com/datafusion-contrib -- there may more that we should list here

Excellent. I think this + encouraging people to start new extensions in datafusion-contrib + examples of integrating with extensions (like in datafusion-tui) will be really helpful.
I also wonder if we need some criteria for "graduating" an extension to be an official Apache DataFusion sub-project (i.e. similar to ballista/python bindings)? I realize that doesn't really solve the "maintainers being stretched thin" problem since it just means now more repos to monitor. Maybe the criteria is "if there are a subset of DataFusion committers that vote to maintain it longterm" ? Not important to solve now though imo.
Yes for sure -- @phillipleblanc we are actually doing this in term apache/datafusion-sqlparser-rs#1294 -- the procedural method is that we do a binding community vote. |

Rationale for this change
Inspired by @phillipleblanc and @jonahgao comments on #12357 let's try and make it easier to find other features such as table providers rather than necessarily trying to add them to the core of DataFusion itself.
