Software Heritage Golang archival - Call for public review

[Benoit Chauvet]

Hello,

Software Heritage [1] aims at building the universal archive of source code,

and is already is the world's largest source code archive.

Our mission is to Collect, Preserve and Share all the publicly available source

code.

Thanks to the Octobus [2] contribution under the aegis of a NLNet grant [3],

Software Heritage is now able to support the ingestion of Golang source code

modules. The Golang loader has been deployed in our staging infrastructure [4].

We have ingested Golang origins that were listed from pkg.go.dev [5].

We now would like to have a round of public review on the actual data output

of the ingestion process, so we can either validate or ask for some more

updates, and then eventually deploy it in production.

Still, for now, please have a look at some of those origins loaded [5]
and let us know what you think!
