proposal: dep: move out of github.com/golang

[theckman]

Hi there,

This is effectively a recreation of #29639, to request another evaluation based on the current state of the world and in relation to this issue: #38158.

Cheers!

What has changed since @andybons's comment in #29639 (comment)? That comment clearly outlined that the proposal was rejected, that the repository was going to be archived in the near future, and that anyone is welcome to continue the work in dep via a fork.

That plan is what's being executed in #38158; I don't see a reason to reopen this debate and further delay what has been planned for nearly two years.

Closing as a duplicate of #29639.

As I stated in the original issue:

We will not be transferring the dep repo. It is an important part of Go’s development history and still a useful tool for many. It will remain in the golang organization indefinitely.

That has not changed, even in light of official deprecation.

You are welcome and encouraged to fork the repo if you’d like to continue working on it.

Thanks
