I was wondering if there's a particular reason to enforce importing golint from a certain source (see: https://github.com/golang/lint/commit/9a272034dedb2a3ed05231d5604ce17fb40f0e58). There seems to be a lot of code in "the wild" importing this project from github.com as evinced by a number of closed github issues from users asking why their usual go get isn't working. There's also the issue that the github repo is usually more discoverable by people looking for tooling than the repo(s) at golang.org/x. Given the ease-of-use aspect, is there a compelling reason to prevent people from pulling this from the github mirror? And even if we've already incurred the cost of making this change for golint, is this going to be the standard going forward for everything in golang.org/x?
