<p>Sorry about delay in our response.<br>
We don't remove gems unless they are actively malicious. Empty gem or unresponsive owner is not a criterion for removal at the moment. Check <a href="https://github.com/rubygems/rubygems.org/pull/1842">this</a> for my attempt of addressing this.<br>
Please consider using a different name for your gem.</p></div>sonalkr132tag:help.rubygems.org,2010-01-19:Comment/476575992019-11-11T05:28:43Z2019-11-11T05:28:43ZObtaining ownership of an abandon gem: 'freight'<div><p>Hey sonalkr132</p>
<p>Tim actually responded to me on October 9th, stating "You betcha." Here is a screenshot I took: <a href="https://paste.pics/dfd0723dcd60388118df4a2228e0c690">https://paste.pics/dfd0723dcd60388118df4a2228e0c690</a></p>
<p>I also responded with instructions: <a href="https://paste.pics/dd1523f5956fd0b3eb047f049732d090">https://paste.pics/dd1523f5956fd0b3eb047f049732d090</a>.</p>
<p>However, he never responded. I called Tim again On Oct 30th, and left another message. I even presented the option of financial compensation, but I have not heard back from him.</p>
<p>So, I did get his ok, and it appears he is very busy and this is a low priority for him.</p>
<p>I have an entire naming convention based around the use of the word 'freight'. I've spent a few years coming up with other names that already been taken.</p>
<p>There has to be another way?</p></div>wanchictag:help.rubygems.org,2010-01-19:Comment/476575992019-11-28T15:42:03Z2019-11-28T15:42:03ZObtaining ownership of an abandon gem: 'freight'<div><p>Hi,</p>
<p>Sorry about the delay in getting back to you. I have added you as an owner of <code>freight</code>.</p></div>sonalkr132
