[pkg-go] Bug#1145362: keep golang-github-xyproto-simpleredis out of forky/testing, consider removal

Package: golang-github-xyproto-simpleredis
Severity: serious
X-Debbugs-CC: debian-go at lists.debian.org

The last upstream release of this package in Debian is from 2015.  It
has no reverse dependencies in Debian.

https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/golang-github-xyproto-simpleredis

However upstream has had some activity since then, the last commit just
3 months ago, and the last release (v2.9.0) from May 2026.

Thus, I can't fully motivate removal of this package just yet, but let's
trigger autoremoval so we don't ship the current version from 2015 in
forky/testing unless any reason comes around that we really want to.  If
any consumer of this package ever appears in Debian, feel free to upload
an updated version of the package closing this bug to allow re-entry
into testing.
