RubySpec uses MSpec rather than RSpec. It was written as a
part of the project, and is essentially a vastly simpler
codebase. Some additions like platform- and version guards,
tags and interpreter selection are included. I think you
could currently run the specs on RSpec as the syntax is
compatible. Mocking is included in MSpec itself.

In order to have commit access you will need to have an
account on Github, yes. You can, however, submit patches
through the tracker or even just on the mailing list.

Until people get tired of applying them and tell you
to just sign up so you can do it yourself, that is :)

These would be an excellent addition, so hopefully you will
be able to. You can ask for help on the ML or on #rubyspec
on Freenode.
