Description

What is the URL of the page with the issue?

https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/SSLMate/go-pkcs12

What is your user agent?

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:78.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/78.0

What did you do?

Navigated to https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/SSLMate/go-pkcs12

What did you expect to see?

Be redirected to the documentation for software.sslmate.com/src/go-pkcs12 as this is the canonical import path for the package: https://github.com/SSLMate/go-pkcs12/blob/master/pkcs12.go#L18

godoc.org exhibited the expected behavior.

What did you see instead?

I saw documentation for the package github.com/SSLMate/go-pkcs12, even though this is not the canonical import path.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine pkg.go.dev's import path resolution logic and add redirect for packages with custom import paths declared via go.mod or comment directives.
