What will it take to get golang updated on epel7 from the no longer supported version 1.15? RHEL8.5 reports a long list of security problems that are fixed in 1.16.

Jakub or Alex, do you know whose prerogative is this?
I think Jakub is more appropriate than me to answer this question because I never built EPEL but, as far as I remember, from a conversation with Jakub, he was doing major upgrades of odd versions. Mainly because a major version is going to be there for ~1 year and that gives a little stability to the users of EPEL. If what I said is accurate, the lack of 1.17 on Fedora is what made this scenario.
Nevertheless, Go 1.15 doesn't have support anymore from upstream so I would say that we should upgrade it. I have no problems with trying to upgrade it to 1.16 or 1.17.
What do you think?
