Thank you!  I hope to do another upload fixing Vcs-* URLs.

No worries.  Unless there are objections, could you also move the Salsa
projects for 'golang-siphash-dev', 'obfs4proxy' and 'snowflake' to the
Go team?  Then I will make an upload of that with the right Vcs-* URL
from the start.

I think these are all the Go-related packages in pkg-privacy, and I
think they are better maintained by the Go team, as they often end up
being involved in Go library transitions.

I'm not familiar with the pkg-privacy team origins, but it seems like a
small team and I wonder if there is anything substantial that sets it
apart from the bigger pkg-security team these days.  Winding down
pkg-auth-maintainers and moving packages to pkg-security felt like the
right thing.
