It doesn't look ignored to me. It explains that the test coverage is currently poor, so they are in a terrible position of not being able to make changes until that is rectified.
The first step is to improve the test coverage. Are you volunteering? AI isn't at a point where it is going to magically do it on its own, so it is going to take a willing human hand. You do certainly appear to be the perfect candidate, both having the technical understanding and the need for it.
Heh. I've had my fair share of mailing list drama. This is political AND technical. Someone saying "let’s cut throughput" is going to get shot down fast, no matter the technical merit. If someone with the political clout were to be willing to champion the work and guide the discussion appropriately while someone like me does the work, that's different. That's at least how things like this are done in other communities, unless go is different.

There is unlikely anyone on the Go team with more political clout in this particular area than the one who has already reached out to you. You obviously didn't respond to him publicly, but did he reject your offer in private? Or are you just imaging some kind of hypothetical scenario where they are refusing to talk to you, despite evidence to the contrary?
You must not have read all the comments yet? One of Go's key runtime maintainers sent you a message. Now is your opportunity to give him your plan so that he can give you the political support you seek.
