The golang-github-araddon-gou package was last uploaded on 2021-01-11
(as a QA buildinfo upload) shipping upstream code from 2018.  It has no
reverse dependencies in Debian.

https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/golang-github-araddon-gou

The upstream project had its last activity 5 years ago:

https://github.com/araddon/gou

This removal request is part of a larger batch to remove 100+ unused
golang-*-dev packages from Debian.  I believe the QA cost associated
with keeping all of them is larger than the cost of (hopefully extremely
rare) re-introduction of any accidentally removed package if there is
ever any future need for it.  Meanwhile, I don't think it is useful to
keep this package in Debian.
