Contributions summary:Florian implemented and tested the `keep_matching_keys` function within the OpenTelemetry Collector Contrib project. This function filters attributes in spans and modifies the values to match against a provided regular expression. The user added end-to-end tests to verify the function's correct application, along with unit tests for code coverage. The code modifications involved changes to several files, including the core function logic, associated test files and the `go.mod` file.
