 Replying to [comment:24 anarcat]:

 she's signing herself up for, by offering to help package/maintain the set
 of go libs she'll depend on. With that knowledge, the anti-censorship team
 should think about whether signing up for that commitment is the best use
 of their limited time -- or said another way, how to make things scale
 well enough for the future.

 :)

 `dh_make_golang` is telling me we need to packetize the following:
 {{{
 itp-golang-github-pion-datachannel.txt
 itp-golang-github-pion-dtls.txt
 itp-golang-github-pion-ice.txt
 itp-golang-github-pion-logging.txt
 itp-golang-github-pion-mdns.txt
 itp-golang-github-pion-rtcp.txt
 itp-golang-github-pion-rtp.txt
 itp-golang-github-pion-sctp.txt
 itp-golang-github-pion-sdp.txt
 itp-golang-github-pion-srtp.txt
 itp-golang-github-pion-stun.txt
 itp-golang-github-pion-transport.txt
 itp-golang-github-pion-turn.txt
 itp-golang-github-pion-webrtc.txt
 itp-snowflake.git.txt
 }}}
 honestly i'm a bit surprised more dependencies aren't coming up. Is
 `dh_make_golang` conservative in the dependencies it says are missing and
 we'll find more once we start building it?

 I also noticed in this process that some of the dependencies are circular
 (e.g., pion/turn requires pion/stun and vice versa). Will this cause
 problems?

 There's also some cases where some dependencies require different versions
 of the same dependency (e.g., pion/rtp v1.3.2 and v1.3.0 are required).
