Surely the number of eyes looking at that codebase will vastly diminish though? You may get RH and co backporting massively obvious issues but there will be many other smaller issues that won't be found.

Also Google have golang, which I'd imagine would be their target now, not python 3 (for migrations)

I don't think the "many eyes" theory ever panned out. There are projects used by billions, and on which thousands of other FOSS projects work, and only have like a handful of people working at the codebase (and less catching bugs)

Not really, Golang was never Google's official/mandated language. Just a language some Googlers made with Google's use cases in mind. Google still uses C++, Java, and Python (plus some Dart). Some things use Golang, but not in some top-down "Googlers shall use Golang" way.
