Unretire request idle and Go packages working through approval

[W. Michael Petullo]

I would like to unretire golang-github-apex-logs, and Mikel Olasagasti
Uranga was kind enough to review and approve my review request [1].
The unretire request has been idle for a while:

https://pagure.io/releng/issue/11880

I believe Mikel has been waiting for each package X to hit Rawhide before
reviewing package Y, which depends on X. After getting through seven Go
packages, the following remain waiting for review:

golang-github-tj-kinesis: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=2256315
golang-github-tj-elastic: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=2256314
golang-github-bep-logg: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=2256309
golang-github-aphistic-sweet:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=2256306
golang-github-aphistic-golf: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=2256305
golang-github-apex-log: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2256303

All of this effort aims at allowing me to package the latest version
of Hugo, which adds dependencies faster than I can get them through
package approval!

Yeah, appologies... things have been very busy of late. I went and
processed that now.

However, a few things to mention: 

IMHO, it's helpfull if you don't open an unretirement request releng
ticket until the package has been re-reviewed (if needed). Trying to
keep track of old tickets waiting for reviews to finish is not a good
workflow. It also results in people filing a ticket, told to do the
re-review, then when that finishes a long time later, a new ticket is
filed instead of updating the old one. ;(

We are also working on automating unretirements... hopefully that will land
soon and you will not need to wait on a manual process anymore.

Sorry about that. I learned of my mistake from the comments the crew
left therein!

This would be a big deal, thank you! I have been patiently working through
14 Go packages with intermingled dependencies and it is slow going.
Speeding up the unretirements and instead waiting only on the reviews
would speed things up a lot.
