How does this compare to `net/http2/hpack`, now in the standard library?

One of the main differences is this one uses lookup tables for faster decoding of Huffman compressed data as opposed to using a tree (which is what the stdlib one uses). It also offers some additional encoding options for users that want more control of header field indexing.

Yes, let's get your version into Go if it's better.

(I wrote Go's quickly. I've never profiled it, delaying that until Go 1.7, which opened for development yesterday)

Why not contribute it to the Go projet, if this version is arguably better than the current implementation?

I think this project is written behind closed doors.

Go is developed entirely in the open. I wrote Go's hpack and there are no other Go coworkers in my office.
