Description

@bernhardreiter

What is the URL of the page with the issue?

https://pkg.go.dev/about#adding-a-package

What is your user agent?

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/113.0.0.0 Safari/537.36

What did you do?

Tried to follow the first variant for adding a package, which says:

Visiting that page on pkg.go.dev, and clicking the “Request” button. For example:
https://pkg.go.dev/example.com/my/module

Went to a couple of those modules and searched for the "Request" button

Could not find the "Request" button.

What did you expect to see?

That any url that matches the example URL of the documentation works like it is written there and offers a "Request" button.

Or that the documentation tells me instead, under which conditions the button should appear.

Or the documentation is corrected to remove this possibility, if it is gone by now.

What did you see instead?

Searching "Request" on the pages did yield results.
