If you want to provide a library that's not a hard fork, just a patched version, you can always use the original module name. Any users would need to add a replace directive to use it. There's nothing stopping you creating a forked version of that library - just change import statements appropriately. There's a very good reason for ignoring replace statements in dependencies - it keeps Go module dependency resolution from being NP-complete and is a key enabler for Go's high fidelity builds.
