I have been doing updates to EPEL on my spare time at best effort basis, usually coupled to the work on the Go in Fedora. Unfortunately recently I don't have much spare time to use there.
I have been trying to keep the EPEL on the odd(just arbitrary coincidence) release of Go for entirety of its life time. Giving EPEL stable version of Go for roughly a year. Really from my perspective someone needs to show up to do the work there. EPEL's golang is de facto orphaned for several years now(4+??). If anyone is volunteering I will be happy to help with on-boarding/reviewing. Even just PR/MR will be welcomed.
