Release 1.23.0

[shivanthzen]

Are there plans to release a new version ? The last release was two months ago.
I'm specifically waiting for #1686 to make changes upstream .

1..22.0 was released on April 8th (opentelemetry-go has already been updated)

It looks like we are waiting for 1.23.0 as #1686 was merged after 1.22.0 was released.

@vesari stepped up as the next release shepherd. We hope to release a new version soon.
