go1.22-fips-release branch

Hi 👋

Am hoping to learn of the plan for creating the https://github.com/golang-fips/go/tree/go1.22-fips-release branch and when that's likely to happen?

Hey!

Sorry for the delay in responding. The goal is to have that branch ready by the end of this week. There are a few blockers we're working through at the moment.

Thanks so much for the quick response @derekparker 💜

Hi @derekparker, with 1.22.1 now out how are the blockers looking?

[derekparker]

We just merged the 1.22.0 branch, opened a PR for 1.22.1: #175

We will be cutting a release branch today or tomorrow, sorry for the delay! Had to validate a few changes with regard to FIPS support and adherence.

Great! Thanks for the update @derekparker 🙇

Can we get a branch for go1.22-fips-release? It would be useful for submitting a PR for go1.22.8 and eventually tagging a release.
