We already have a RestTemplate based sender for Zipkin, we should add a WebClient based one, too. We can take the code from sleuth.

Hi, I am keen to try this issue as a first PR. 🙂 Is it possible to assign it to me or give me a suggestion for another good first issue?

Hey, we have issues labeled as "first-timers only" for exactly this purpose. The list is currently empty, but keep an eye out for issues with this label.

Hi, thank you. I will keep an eye out. In the meantime, I was interested and did changes on a branch in my fork yesterday. I understand it could be throw away work, but it was fun looking at the code. Let me know if it looks good and it can be used potentially.
