I maintain an open-source Go package with a few dozen followers. (github.com/flimzy/kivik)
I'm planning to transfer/rename the package to a new organization (new package name to be: github.com/go-kivik/kivik). I understand that GitHub will maintain a redirect from the old location to the new one, so in theory, old imports will continue working. But my question is: Are there any dangers I need to consider when making this change, and is there anything I can do to help mitigate such dangers? I ask mainly because I've read of some nightmares related to package renaming (example: https://github.com/sirupsen/logrus/issues/570#issuecomment-313933276), and want to do everything possible to prevent such problems for my own package. (To be clear: I don't think the Sirupsen problem in particular will affect me, since it's not just a capitalization change). Keep in mind that the package has sub-packages as a dependencies (i.e. github.com/flimzy/kivik dependson github.com/flimzy/kivik/errors), in case this complicates things.
