I'm not sure I completely understand this issue, but it definitely doesn't feel insurmountable.  We have gems in Ruby now and we can get help from the maintainers of RubyGems and/or Gemcutter, if some piece of infrastructure is needed.  It seems like we have all the help we need to put in place what is needed to make this as painless as possible.
