Yeah, Ara and I were talking about the rubyforge library on that update.gemcutter.org 
  thread.  Probably we'll update the rubyforge library to just stub  
out most things but to run a "gem push" at the appropriate time.  So  
mostly we'll be deleting the other inapplicable functionality  
(create_package, add_release, etc.).

But rewriting bits of hoe is probably the right way to go long-term.
