"Ruby Central, the non-profit that recently seized some Ruby open source tools from maintainers, is transferring the repository ownership of RubyGems and Bundler to the Ruby core team. The move appears to be an attempt to mollify the Ruby community following a divisive power grab, but it does not restore the control of those tools to the maintainers who previously oversaw them."
"The kerfuffle started last month when Hiroshi Shibata, a member of the Ruby core team and maintainer of RubyGems, renamed the RubyGems GitHub enterprise "Ruby Central" - the name of a non-profit that oversees Ruby conferences and sponsors projects. He also added Ruby Central's director of open source Marty Haught as a RubyGems owner. And the admin rights of other maintainers were revoked."
""To provide the community with long-term stability and continuity, the Ruby core team, led by Matz, has decided to assume stewardship of these projects from Ruby Central," Matsumoto wrote. "We will continue their development in close collaboration with Ruby Central and the broader community.""
Ruby Central seized certain Ruby open-source tools from maintainers and has transferred repository ownership of RubyGems and Bundler to the Ruby core team. The Ruby core team, led by Yukihiro Matsumoto (Matz), will assume stewardship and maintain development in collaboration with Ruby Central and the broader community. The takeover originated when Hiroshi Shibata renamed the RubyGems GitHub enterprise to Ruby Central, added Marty Haught as an owner, and revoked admin rights of other maintainers. Ruby Central framed the action as strengthening governance and supply-chain security. Some community members, including developer Joel Drapper, challenged that narrative.
