> gofmt is a good idea (just like clang-format or yapf), and having it is great, but the maintainers specifically refuse to add simple features, saying "running it in an automated process is not supported", despite all github projects already having it in their automated CI suite

A Golang noob here. Can you (or anyone else) expand more on this? Are there any links that I can read more about this?

Actually, the mistake is mine, I meant to write golint (but too late to edit). I have no issue with gofmt. As for golint, https://github.com/golang/lint/pull/100 is the kind of thing I'm thinking about.
