Misc #20746: Request to migrate the json gem from flori/json repository to ruby/json
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/20746

* Author: byroot (Jean Boussier)
* Status: Open
----------------------------------------
### Context

The `json` gem, which is part of Ruby's default gems, is the only default gem (aside from `rubygems` itself) for which the source repository isn't under the `ruby/` organization.

@naruse and @hsbt, the two maintainers have merge permission into the repository, and gem ownership on, but no administrative right.

The sole repository administrator is @flori, but he has been inactive for years.

### Problem

  - This prevent the maintainers to change the repository configuration to change CI and other integrations.
  - This prevent the maintainers from giving commit bit to others, e.g. JRuby/TruffleRuby maintainers.

@hsbt has been trying to contact @flori for over two years now (first email in June 2022) and never got any answer.

Later on we tried to contact him via GitHub where he seems active: https://github.com/flori/json/issues/591, but without success. I even asked him to please respond after he merged one of my contribution to one of his projects, but he ignored that too: https://github.com/flori/term-ansicolor/pull/38#issuecomment-2263838711

### Proposal

To resolve this situation I propose the following:

  - Create a copy of the repository at `ruby/json`.
  - Update the `json.gemspec` to declare `ruby/json` as the gem official repository.
  - Resume development there.


NB: This is not taking anything away from @flori, if he wishes to remain administrator of the repository, we can perfectly add him as administrator of `ruby/json`.
