Description

Hey there!
I'm working on my Golang extension and would like to use the Nova native tooling to install gopls..

Unfortunately this can't be installed via the pkg:github install method. Is there a way to allow something like pkg:golang to allow tools or LSPs to be fetched from the golang ecosystem?

Research direction

Start by inspecting the existing pkg:github installation path in the nova-registry repository and how tool or LSP packages are resolved. Trace the package-source handling for gopls and define what successful pkg:golang support should accept and install. Confirm the behavior with the repository’s existing tests, if present.
