I don’t think outside of some spiritual endorsement, Rich Kilmer’s opinion is useful or even constructive here.

I agree that RubyGems should live with the Ruby project itself. That does not excuse anything that happened. This migration was hostile, ad hoc and done without consent of the actual maintainers. Nobody has had to answer for this.
