Indeed, the language is called Go, and golang is the web site address:

I agree that the new section should ideally be called “Go”.

Guillem, thanks for sending the patches in the blocker bugs. Could you
update them to use “Go” instead of “golang” please?

Let me know if you’d prefer me to post updated versions.
