Package name format of go modules was changed?

[kamatama41]

I'm using Renovate on GitHub app.

Previously (at least until last weekend) package name format of go modules was <domain>/<organization>/<module>
like github.com/aws/aws-sdk-go. However, it seems to be changed to just <organization>/<module> like aws/aws-sdk-go, so that our packageRules has not been working.

Is this a bug, or an intentional change? I couldn't find any release of the change.

This is an example of renovate.json. Automerge of aws-sdk-go is enabled again by changing matchPackagePatterns to "aws/aws-sdk-go"

{
  "extends": [
    "config:base"
  ],
  "postUpdateOptions": [
    "gomodTidy"
  ],
  "packageRules": [
    {
      "matchPackagePatterns": [
        "^github.com/aws/aws-sdk-go"
      ],
      "automerge": true
    }
  ]
}

I checked some other package names between before and after the change and its result is following.
Especially gopkg.in/yaml.v2 is changed to just yaml, which is very hard to guess new package name.

before	after
github.com/aws/aws-sdk-go	aws/aws-sdk-go
github.com/go-redis/redis/v8	go-redis/redis/v8
gopkg.in/yaml.v2	yaml
golang.org/x/lint	golang.org/x/lint
go.uber.org/zap	go.uber.org/zap
google.golang.org/grpc	google.golang.org/grpc

@viceice an undesired effect of depNameShort refactoring? I think we need to revert it

[viceice]

Looks like. Maybe we shouldn't shorten go modules at all instead of simply revert.

[rarkins]

Sure, let's start by not shortening

I have confirmed it's fixed in our repositories, thanks!
