Because the Go ecosystem changed a bit since the submission, do we merge
this patch?  Especially in the light of:

        There are some problems with it however:

        The tarball has a vendor directory, containing sources of third party
        go stuff. How do we deal with that?
        (Should we package the stuff there, and link the sources into the tree?)

Well, I propose to drop this submission since the last interaction is
from 3 years, 2 weeks, 6 days ago and then start a fresh one.  WDYT?
