Hi ddevault, FWIW, in May 2022 on that #44577 issue [0] you had opened, it looks like someone on the core Go team commented there [1] recommending that you email the golang-dev mailing list or email them directly.
Separately, it looks like in July 2022, in one of the issues tracking the new friendlier -reuse flag, there was a mention [2] of the #44577 issue you had opened. In the normal course, that would have triggered an automatic update on your #44577 issue... but I suspect because that #44577 issue had been locked by one of the community gardeners as "too heated", that automatic update didn't happen. (Edit: It looks like it was locked due to a series of rapid comments from people unrelated to Sourcehut, including about “scummy behavior”).
Of course, communication on large / sprawling open source projects is never quite perfect, but that's a little extra color...

And given that they banned him for no reason, he is perfectly in the right to tell them that they should email him instead.
