Any chance this might get done in the near future?

I'd really rather use this updater than some of the others out there, due to it's robustness and popularity.

Thanks in advance, and if asking violated some rule that I missed, my apologies!

I started on this, but I've decided to move to my management of DNS for my domains to Cloudflare, so I've lost motivation to continue working on it. I didn't make it far - just primarily research the api, make the start of a readme, and take a screenshot of where to click to manage DNS. Instead of doing a full PR I'll just include the little bit of work here:

README

Namesilo

Configuration

Example

{
  "settings": [
    {
      "provider": "namesilo",
      "domain": "domain.com",
      "host": "home",
      "key": "71dZaE8c2Aa926Ca2E8c1",
      "ip_version": "ipv4"
    }
  ]
}

Compulsory parameters

"domain" your domain. Example: domain.com.
"host" your host. Can be a subdomain or "@" or "*". Example: home to update the record for home.domain.com.
"key" the api key obtained using domain setup instructoins below. Example: 71dZaE8c2Aa926Ca2E8c1.

Optional parameters

"ip_version" can be ipv4 (A records), or ipv6 (AAAA records) or ipv4 or ipv6 (update one of the two, depending on the public ip found). It defaults to ipv4 or ipv6.

Domain setup

Login to Namesilo API Manager with your account credentials.
Generate an API key. The generated API key will look similar to 71dZaE8c2Aa926Ca2E8c1.
- (do not check the "Generate key for read-only access" box)

Testing

Go to domain manager.
Choose "Manage DNS for this domain" (the globe icon) for the domain you wish to test.
Change the IP address of the host to 127.0.0.1.
Run the ddns-updater.
Refresh the Namesilo webpage to check the update occurred.

And here are a few implementations from around the internet of other doing it, though none of them written in go:
