The set of people that make decisions about Guava is mutually exclusive from the set of people that make decisions about Go, and the two projects have markedly different goals. It's also worth noting that Guava lives in a very different world from Go - the way we distribute Guava is (unfortunately) not designed for non-Google contributors and Guava needs to support multiple Java ecosystems/platforms (Android and servers, at least). (Googler that works on neither Guava nor Golang.)
