question: Consider distributing crane on conda-forge

[matthewfeickert]

👋 crane is already installable from a collection of different methods, which is great. However, it would be nice if it was also distributed on conda-forge, as this would make it accessible to a wide collection of ecosystems and tools.

Would the team be open to the idea of adding crane as a PR to https://github.com/conda-forge/staged-recipes and then managing the automated release PRs that would come up with its associated conda-forge feedstock?

This issue is stale because it has been open for 90 days with no
activity. It will automatically close after 30 more days of
inactivity. Keep fresh with the 'lifecycle/frozen' label.

While I appreciate that there are go specific package registries, given that go itself is on conda-forge (https://github.com/conda-forge/go-feedstock) it doesn't seem unreasonable to have crane be there too.

Amazing! Thank you so much @benmoss!

I can now use pixi to get the latest release of crane for my system. :)
