Since Go1.10, go test runs vet on the tests before executing them.
Moreover, the vet tool typechecks the package under analysis with
go/types before running. In Go1.10, a typechecking failure just caused
a warning to be printed. In Go1.11, a typechecking failure will cause
vet to exit with a fatal error (see Issue #21287).
This means that starting with Go1.11, tests that don't typecheck will
fail immediately. This would not normally be an issue, since a test
that doesn't typecheck shouldn't even compile, and it should already
be broken.
Unfortunately, there's a bug in gc that makes it accept programs with
unused variables inside a closure (Issue #3059). This means that a
test with an unused variable inside a closure, that compiled and
passed in Go1.10, will fail in the typechecking step of vet starting
with Go1.11.
Explain this in the 1.11 release notes.

making iframes responsive, but the videos are loaded at random and do
not have uniform aspect ratios so that information is injected into the
DOM using custom properties. If these are not supported, it falls back
to the same layout present before this change.

I've reorganized the guide and rewritten large sections.
The structure is now more clear and logical, and can
be understood and navigated using the summary displayed at
the top of the page (before, the summary was confusing because
the guide contained H1s that were being ignored by the summary).
Both the initial onboarding process and the Gerrit
change submission process have been reworked to
include a concise checklist of steps that can be
read and understood in a few seconds, for people
that don't want or need to bother with details.
More in-depth descriptions have been moved into
separate sections, one per each checklist step.
This is by far the biggest improvement, as the previous
approach of having to read several pages just to understand
the requires steps was very scaring for beginners, in
addition of being harder to navigate.
GitHub pull requests have been integrated as a different
way to submit a change, suggested for first time contributors.
The review process has been described in more details,
documenting the workflow and the used conventions.
Most miscellanea have been moved into an "advanced
topics" chapter.
Paragraphs describing how to use git have been removed
to simplify reading. This guide should focus on Go contribution,
and not help users getting familiar with git, for which many
guides are available.
