Delete empty gem
Hi, I've built a gem for the Oracle Rightnow API (https://github.com/dimelo/rightnow)
and would like to publish it.
I found an existing rightnow gem but it's a blank new gem. I asked
the author by email if I can use it, he agreed but couldn't manage
to delete it:
"i tried but no success...pls just make one under another name for now and when i have time later, we'll switch it over okay? sorry and apologies for the inconvenience."
I asked him again 2 weeks ago but he never answered. Is there
any way you can remove this gem ? it's quite safe as it's just a
blank and never used gem. I don't want to bother that guy too much,
you can ask him if you want to be sure.
Thanks for you help.
Of course I can still use another name but it would be stupid and
unnatural as the good one is "available" ;)

I've added the owner of this repo to this thread, if he can respond, that would be better. Or, if you have an email to forward here, that works too.

Hi,
Sorry to bother you again but would you mind *yanking* your rightnow gem
someday ?
It's now time for me to release it and it would be stupid to have it under
a different name.
Hope to hear from you soon.
Thanks !

Fenton, would you be able to yank your empty gem so Adrien can continue?
