Nobody but Jim can fix it. Check out http://rubyforge.org/projects/rake/
and see the facts: one admin (Jim), one developer (Jim). Who else has
permission to add a new release?

And I'll reiterate here what I put on Aaron's blog:

A release is when you can type `gem install rake` and it Just Works.

`gem install anyusername-somegemname --source http://gems.github.com/`
is not a release. It's a way to see the status of a gem that's in
development.
