 ## Unreleased
 
+- `opentelemetry-exporter-otlp-proto-grpc`, `opentelemetry-exporter-otlp-proto-http`: add `:members:` directives to submodule `automodule` entries in `docs/exporter/otlp/otlp.rst` so that exporter classes appear in the generated API documentation
+  ([#5124](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-python/pull/5124))
 - `opentelemetry-sdk`: add `load_entry_point` shared utility to declarative file configuration for loading plugins via entry points; refactor propagator loading to use it
   ([#5093](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-python/pull/5093))
 - `opentelemetry-sdk`: fix YAML structure injection via environment variable substitution in declarative file configuration; values containing newlines are now emitted as quoted YAML scalars per spec requirement
