Whether we do test rebuilds or not, we definitely need to coordinate a transition with the release team - in fact, we probably *should* coordinate a transition for every upload of src:golang-X.Y also, but I'm not sure and it's probably worth double checking that we haven't been causing unnecessary excess labor for them.
