Go Package Manager MVC

Problem to solve

GitLab currently supports the go get style of dependency management, similar to GitHub. However there is a new Go module framework, which is more similar to how rubygems and NPM work: https://research.swtch.com/vgo-module

We should support this new framework.

Target audience

• Sasha, Software Developer, https://design.gitlab.com/research/personas#persona-sasha

• Devon, DevOps Engineer, https://design.gitlab.com/research/personas#persona-devon

Further details

Proposal

We should add support for the Go module protocol and repository type, similar to what we do for NPM and Maven.

What does success look like, and how can we measure that?

What is the type of buyer?
