take this with a grain of salt as i dont know how alive/dead it is but
if you are using go instead of using the api directly which you can do
with the go sdk you could also look at oaktree which was ment to provide
a grpc enpoint to wrap the api. https://opendev.org/x/oaktree
(no update in 2 years with no updates so im thinking pretty dead.)

from go grpc might be an easier way to interact but there is a go client
https://opendev.org/x/golang-client too.

the database are considerd internal to the project so while you might be able to read
from them you certenly cannot write to them. maintain models that work over time would
be non trivaila but if you use teh api this should be less of an issue.

go is not really supported as a first class language for clients/proejcts so the tools
and libs for go support are more or less non existent.
