I think this is the right place. User support channels would also work
in these cases which are borderline between dev and support.

We're not shipping Go and so we don't feel responsible if it breaks by
changes we made elsewhere in Tails. In other words, "not supported" as
geeks say.

But we'd be interested if you investigate this problem further and
propose a patch that makes sense in Tails and fixes your issue. Or if
you document how to work around it.

At some point we thought about adding hints about making additional
programs work fine inside Tails to the advanced topics of our documentation.
