There is a form involved for submitting ruby-mode.el into Emacs; if you
two could contact Stefan Monnier at monnier@iro.umontreal.ca (and CC
emacs-devel@gnu.org) to get this figured out that would be great. There
is a feature freeze for Emacs 23 at the end of July, so if it doesn't
get included soon it will incur a long delay.

My apologies if you have already contacted someone about this. I think I
previously asked you to email Chong Yidong, but I know he has a very
aggressive spam filter; I have had email bounced from him before.

Thanks for being willing to contribute!
