Yup - maybe its time for 'sup2' - from rubyforge:

http://rubyforge.org/docman/view.php/5/460/faq.html#abandoned

Project xyz seems to be abandoned. Can you pass it to me?

This comes up occasionally - a well-named or positioned project gets
started, then the project admin falls out of sight and can't be reached.
Patches pile up, people start wondering what's going on, and it seems a
shame to lose the project name by forking it. So someone will ask if we
as RubyForge admins will pass over control of the project to them.

We really, really, hesitate to transfer admin privileges from one person
to another, even if the original admin has completely disappeared. I
suspect there are legal complications, and we don't have the budget to
deal with those. Furthermore, suppose the original admin has been off on
furlough for a year and comes back to find that his project has been
moved away from him. Not a pleasant situation.

In situations where the project admin can't be reached for a long time
and folks want to move forward, I suggest forking the project. You're
welcome to host a xyz2 version of project xyz on RubyForge, and if the
original admin ever shows up again and wants to hand over the project to
you, we can help facilitate that.
