<p>Like many others I use this gem for a core function in my
business. As Justin has noted, this situation is really getting out
of hand. The gem has fallen into disrepair (a loose dependency has
caused this gem on RubyGems to become broken), and various people
are emailing me to complain although I cannot access RubyGems to
fix it.</p>
<p>Please help the community here by adding Justin, @webcracy, and
I as maintainers.</p></div>Johnny Shieldstag:help.rubygems.org,2010-01-19:Comment/346394132014-10-05T19:20:14Z2014-10-05T19:20:15Zgem owner MIA<div><p>I would like to see this gem updated too, although I can say
that we have the gem deployed in a production gemfile and I have
not had issues, I am not sure I've updated the bundle or tried to
update, or how long it's been broken for.</p>
<p>Is there any contention or concord over which fork should become
the new canonical home of gmail gem? I think there should be some
discussion or endorsement, no offense is intended but I don't know
you or the others, any of you could be bad actors. Who knows how
many have this gem in production now. That being said, nu7hatch has
disappeared, and webcracy did a bang-up job highlighting issues
with this gem some months ago in <a href=
"http://github.com/nu7hatch/gmail/issues/96">nu7hatch/gmail#96</a>
-- +1 in favor of choosing a new maintainer if nu7hatch doesn't
want the job anymore.</p></div>Kingdon Barretttag:help.rubygems.org,2010-01-19:Comment/346394132014-10-06T11:50:46Z2014-10-06T11:50:47Zgem owner MIA<div><p>Thanks guys for this discussion.</p>
<p>I've personally been in contact a couple of time with Krzysztof
Kowalik since late 2013, asking him to help us move the gem forward
either by coming back to maintaining to by giving control to
someone else.</p>
<p>Krzysztof always replied he'd find time in the following weeks
to pick up maintenance himself, but I guess he never could.</p>
<p>We've been kept back from moving forward for many months now and
I believe the time has come to fork to another namespace or,
ideally, give control of this gem to other community members.</p>

github the maintainers have fixed a breaking bug caused by a
changed dependency, but that master branch has not made its way
here.</p>
<p>Please allow this gem to be updated.</p></div>J Bonnertag:help.rubygems.org,2010-01-19:Comment/346394132014-10-10T20:17:57Z2014-10-10T20:18:05Zgem owner MIA<div><p>Rubygems people, @drbrain: You directed me here, what more can
we do? It's been nearly a month now.</p>
<p>This didn't seem to be an issue with other repos that needed
such changes. How can we assist?</p></div>justintag:help.rubygems.org,2010-01-19:Comment/346394132014-10-18T20:39:42Z2014-10-18T20:39:43Zgem owner MIA<div><p>Hi all, I've spoken with Chris and he has just added Justin,
Alex, and I as RubyGems and Github admins. Looking here I see all
of us: <a href=
"https://rubygems.org/gems/gmail">https://rubygems.org/gems/gmail</a>
So, problem solved! Thanks Chris if you're reading this.</p></div>Johnny Shieldstag:help.rubygems.org,2010-01-19:Comment/346394132014-12-19T10:56:32Z2014-12-19T10:56:33Zgem owner MIA<div><p>I am a friend of Krzysztof's, and know his dad as well. I
haven't talked to Krzysztof directly, but his dad assures me
Krzysztof is doing very well, and has just been on a very much
needed break.<br>
He also does plan to return to Rubygems.</p></div>Alex
