I think this is acceptable when you’re providing a library foo implemented in 
several languages and naturally get go-foo, python-foo, ruby-foo etc 
repositories. It’s still annoying but a natural effect of using the GitHub etc 
namespace for package naming and not having a Go specific package namespace.

In all other cases it’s discouraged.
