New Golang Packaging Guidelines: Feedback needed and appreciated

[Robert-André Mauchin]

Hello Fedora people,

    As you may or may not know, currently applied Golang packaging guidelines 
have always been simply a « draft ». Part of the new Go SIG mission is to 
update ours best practices and tooling. As such, Nicolas Mailhot designed  a 
new set of macros based on lua script to improve our current situation. As a 
result, we needed to draft new guidelines to reflect the future implementation 
of these macros.

    I have written these new guidelines and I'd like to ask for your help in 
order to review them: both from current Go SIG packagers point of view and 
from novices in the matter, in order to make sure they are clear and 
understandable enough for everyone.

    I have uploaded a mirror of the Guidelines on my FedoraPeople space:
https://eclipseo.fedorapeople.org/guidelines/packaging-guidelines/Golang/

    Please, if you have 10 mn to spare, read them and send me feedback. If you 
wish you can also directly send me a Merge Request on Pagure:
https://pagure.io/fork/eclipseo/packaging-committee/  (branch 
implement_golang_guidelines).

Best regards,

Robert-André

Thanks, great work.

I unfortunately I have managed to just go trough roughly half of them, but they look great
so far. There some parts that needs minor fix up, some a bit of expanding and IMO there
are some that can be omitted with just pointer to the general guidelines.

I hope that I will be able to send some PRs and open some issue/enhancement requests by
the next week. Also I will try to ask someone from the Fedora docs team to take a look at
the non-technical side of the things.

Thanks again for writing the new guidelines draft,

JC
