The (... golang) module is already big (~10000) lines (*), so I would
recommend not putting it in (gnu packages golang) and instead looking
into creating a new module -- maybe (gnu packages prometheus)?
Non-Go prometheus-related packages could be put there as well

Alternatively, maybe the already-existing (gnu packages monitoring)
would be a good place?

(*) IIUC, crates-io becoming big has caused building guix to become
slower because bignums had to be used?
