The main motivation behind it is because "gox" is unmaintained and archived and it does not support "linux/riscv64" as a target.
Right now, goreleaser is only building the binaries, and I've tried to replicate the exact same way the old script does.
In the future, if so desired, goreleaser could be used to further automate the build and release pipeline by creating the release in GitHub.
I've also taken the opportunity in this PR and added
linux/riscv64
as a build target (which closes #1347), but I am happy to move it to another PR as well.
