golang-defaults pointing to 1.15 was uploaded and stuck in proposed 
since 2020-10-23. I think that largely gave the team owing it the time to:
- add a bug subscriber
- handle the MIR/promotion phase which we discussed in the MIR team 
meeting (showing up in component-mismatches).

Which didn’t happen, hence untangling this transition from the rest of 
the stack and the pile of packages stuck in proposed.


But it’s always a pleasure to have this kind of feedback after spending 
a couple of days on +1ing and fighting our infrastructure being slow due 
to the load when opening a cycle. Thanks Matthias.
