There is a larger change coming that I think we need to account for. Go modules are here (and in v1.13 will be on by default). This feature allows Go code to be built outside of a $GOPATH. I'm unsure how this information intersects with your work, so I'll just leave a link to the wiki[1] on modules. Thank you for your contributions!
