Reporting Abuse on ipaddress - Author missing
<div><p>We don't give up ownership on gems - it's up to the gem owner
themselves. I've added <code>ceresa@gmail.com</code> to this
thread. If they're not responding to email then there's not much we
can do on our end. Gems are owned by their owners. We rarely (as in
never) have forcibly given up ownership on a gem.</p>
<p>If there's a community of people that are maintaining the gem
and the owner is unresponsive, I'd suggest changing the name of the
gem to one that you own.</p></div>

<div><p>I am the co-maintainer of the gem in the github repository. Is
it possible to give me write access to the rubygems.org?</p>
<p>All recent commits to the master branch have been made by
me:</p>

<div><p>Mike, repo contributions and gem ownership are two distinct
areas. We really can't (and won't) open a precedent for this.</p>
<p>The standard approach, as Nick suggests, is to fork the repo and
publish a gem under a new name. As a repo committer, I would
suggest you to alter the README to point to the new location.</p></div>

<div><p>I'll give Mike full access to the gem here on rubygems.org and
any other place he'll request to.</p></div>
