Description
Hi!
I help maintain Go packages in Debian, and I noticed this package is one of very few packages still using the unmaintained https://github.com/hailocab/go-hostpool fork -- it was last updated 11+ years ago. This is a problem for us, since we'd like to avoid shipping old unmaintained packages.
Would you consider replacing that with for example https://github.com/bitly/go-hostpool which seems more actively maintained?
Thanks!

Research direction
Start by locating the dependency declaration and all imports or references to github.com/hailocab/go-hostpool, then compare the referenced API with github.com/bitly/go-hostpool. Run the existing Go test suite after the replacement; done means the driver uses the maintained dependency without regressions.
