One of the nice advantages of an open source project like ruby is that  
you can fork it, and take it in directions not held by the original  
developers. Become your own committer. That should be the least of  
your worries. If you really do have a better mouse-trap you will have  
no problems about finding people who will join *you* rather than the  
other way around.
