Description
Description
The github.com/gorilla/mux package seems to be a less than ideal choice these days. It lacked maintainers for a while but apparently has a team of maintainers since July 2023, but there still haven't been a release since 2020. I think we should replace it with the more actively developed Gin.
Motivation
There appears to be more active work going on in Gin. Having used both I haven't seen any particular drawbacks with Gin and it supports OpenTelemetry tracing out of the box. Even if gorilla/mux picks up the pace again I don't see any particular reasons for sticking to it.
Exemplification
N/A
Benefits
We'll use a more obviously maintained package.
Possible Drawbacks
Probably nothing except the migration cost.
