[Colin Watson <mp+426764@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The proposal to merge ~cjwatson/launchpad:go-proxy-archive-layout into launchpad:master has been updated.

Description changed to:

This follows the description of the `GOPROXY` protocol in https://go.dev/ref/mod#module-proxy.  (The naming is confusing: module proxies seem to have a layout in their own right, rather than proxying to some kind of repository stored elsewhere as one might expect from the name.)

I initially planned to store Go module paths in the source package name in a mangled form, but this turns out not to work well in conjunction with how the metadata scanning job works, so I switched to storing them in `SourcePackageRelease.user_defined_fields` instead, thereby avoiding the necessity for name-mangling.
