At the moment, you can't contribute to Go unless you provide your personal data to Google. This requirement should be relaxed as it is completely unacceptable for open-source project.

@illiliti for what it's worth, you can send a patch by opening a GitHub PR. You won't be able to reply on Gerrit to reviews, though.
The problem is that such PRs cannot be merged because you need to sign CLA which require Google/Gmail account...
I think the CLA is the bigger blocker; but the need for a google account is not a requirement enforced by the Go Project itself: it's a general Google CLA requirement. According to this:
Contributors must sign in with a Google account to sign the CLA or manage their CLA agreements.
Of course you could argue that the Go Project could stop requiring the CLA, but I don't think Google would be willing to drop it.
I'm totally OK with CLA. Just stop requiring Google account to sign it.
Unfortunately there is no mechanism for signing the Google CLA without creating a Google account. This is not under the control of the Go team. Closing this issue as unfortunate.
