New help porting to Go >= 1.12

At KDE we have a GitHub mirror. One of the problems about having a mirror is that people routinely try to propose Pull Requests over there, but no one is watching, so they would go stale, which is not good for anyone.

What no one? Actually no, we have kdeclose, a bot that will go over all Pull Requests and gracefully close them suggesting people to move the patch over to KDE infrastructure where we are watching.

The problem is that I'm running that code on Google AppEngine and they are cutting support for the old Go version that it's using, so I would need someone help me port the code to a newer Go version.

Anyone can help me?

P.S: No, I'm not the original author of the code, it's a fork of something else, but that has not been updated either.

Update: This is now done, thanks to Daniele (see first comment). Mega fast, thanks community!
