Glad to see you are still working on this (Sebastiaan)!
Interested in writing an RFC and submit it to the RFC Editor?

Kidding aside, I'd love to work on a GoT I-D and shoot for an RFC.

Related notes:

- I gave a talk about Gopher over TLS (and HTTPS) recently. Recording: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4OphAbBnZSs

- Also experimented with TLS forking based on ALPN & SNI. This "TLS Router" tool should help Gopher servers transparently support GoT. YMMV. https://gitlab.com/commonshost/tls-router

- Trying to get web browser support for `gopher:` scheme links. Need to add it to the WHATWG HTML specification. Some interest was expressed by Mozillians; does anyone have Chromium contacts? https://github.com/whatwg/html/issues/5343
