Hey Tom, first of all, thanks a lot for the patch. And really interesting project, I love the idea and have a Remarkable myself, so will definitely be interested in learning more about where this goes.
GNU Go was not receiving updates for a while, but I have reached out to the FSF and was granted access to maintaining it, so hopefully we'll start having at least some more activity ongoing. I'm preparing things for the next release and getting everything setup here, so will take a look at your patch as well, but give me around a week or so to get back.
