I thnk your suggestions above are good. I imagine the Go team policy was made for consistency so names are easy to read and reason about, but people writing it didn't foresee that there could some day be origin url/paths that lead to inlegible end results. The original intent still remains as you have the golang-<origin>-<name> pattern, and you meet the intent of having a name that is easy to reason about. One could argue that having a 76 character garbage name could even be against the intent of the original policy..
