Congratulations on opening your first change. Thank you for your contribution!
Next steps: A maintainer will review your change and provide feedback. See https://go.dev/doc/contribute#review for more info and tips to get your patch through code review.
Most changes in the Go project go through a few rounds of revision. This can be surprising to people new to the project. The careful, iterative review process is our way of helping mentor contributors and ensuring that their contributions have a lasting impact.
During May-July and Nov-Jan the Go project is in a code freeze, during which little code gets reviewed or merged. If a reviewer responds with a comment like R=go1.11 or adds a tag like "wait-release", it means that this CL will be reviewed as part of the next development cycle. See https://go.dev/s/release for more details.
