+## Third-party exporters
+
+Some of these exporters are maintained as part of the official [Prometheus GitHub organization](https://github.com/prometheus),
+those are marked as *official*, others are externally contributed and maintained.
+
+We encourage the creation of more exporters but cannot
+vet all of them for [best practices](https://prometheus.io/docs/instrumenting/writing_exporters/). Commonly, those exporters are
+hosted outside of the Prometheus GitHub organization.
 
 The [JMX exporter](https://github.com/prometheus/jmx_exporter) can export from a
 wide variety of JVM-based applications, for example [Kafka](http://kafka.apache.org/) and
 [Cassandra](http://cassandra.apache.org/).
