Recently I dove in to that prototype of the go-build-system, which does
build a working Syncthing package.

The prototype illustrates what is required for the go-build-system,
although it's not ready to be merged into Guix.

If nobody else does it, I will eventually finish the go-build-system.

However, if somebody would like to try it themselves, I can give advice
and explain what parts of the prototype go-build-system should change
and how. Or, you are welcome to take your own dive :)

By the way, I have an out-of-tree Syncthing package that adapts the
gnu-build-system and uses the dozens of bundled dependencies:
