Yes.. I heard some rumors about team members ice skating and ending up with
stitches during this years FOSDEM. This might be more useful information then
you know :D

How interested would you be to pick up a bit on the Ruby Gem package guidelines
on the wiki, and how are you currently keeping track of package updates?

Generally they look nice and I don't spot any major rewrites as part of the
sponsor reviewing. Which is a good sign I guess!  I don't know ruby very well,
which is why it was *very* fortunate that you uploaded a Go PKGBUILD today :)
Now I have some pointers!

Generally speaking it's fine. I think the `glibc` in `depends` makes no sense
when there are other dependencies present, but it's generally not an issue.

Before `prepare` you have listed up 8 environment variables for the go compiler,
generally they should be inside the given functions as makepkg does magic to the
environment between the different prepare/build/check/package steps. So this is
wrong and should be moved inside build and check.

`prepare` is fine, but `$srcdir` is not really needed. But that is more a
cosmetic thing.

build is fine, but it has a few issues. Where is the build.SHA from? BuildDate
is set to current time, which is not reproducible. Preferably it should adhere
to `SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH` as noted by Reproduible Builds like so:

     -X 'github.com/choria-io/go-choria/build.BuildDate=$(date -d@"${SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH}" '+%F %T %z')'

But apart from that both check and package is fine.

As noted in another email, rsa2048 is bordering on weak these days. It would be
preferable to update the keysize if you do get accepted. Preferably as part of
the application :)

Cheers and good luck!
