Joerg Jaspert (with his ftpmaster hat on) approved the golang section,
conditional on the filing of an ftp.debian.org bug:
https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2016/12/msg00185.html

Holger Levsen filed the bug: https://bugs.debian.org/847520

So, if you want to add the golang section as well, go ahead.
