go list with the -f flag can print a lot of information about the module associated with a package.

Unfortunately, we don't populate the Module.Update field unless the -u flag is set, and the -u flag can only be set today if the -m flag is also set:

example.com$ go version
go version devel +ba9e1088 Thu Aug 6 19:17:13 2020 +0000 linux/amd64

example.com$ go list -u -f '{{with .Module}}{{with .Update}}{{.}}{{end}}{{end}}' ./... | sort -u
go list -u can only be used with -m

We should investigate whether it is feasible to allow the -u flag without -m. That would probably require a hook to instruct the package loader to compute upgrade information.

Huh, I thought this worked already. Guess not.

CL 228382 adds the go list -retracted flag, and it gets us part of the way there. When -retracted is given without -m, it loads retractions for each module providing packages named on the command line. That code could be extended to work with either -retracted or -u.
