Hi Robert, This is something I would be interested in. I have a developed a much more basic rubygems class privately which I had intended to opensource and create a similar later, so it would be nice to have a central place to contribute Ruby/RubyGems improvements. As you have found there are many layers with spotty Ruby support and a particular copy of an old class that is being banded about which is often insufficient.
