I was attempting to suggest that since there aren't many downloads for your gem maybe there's no need for you to continue to maintain it in its current form (if at all).

Some of the functionality of your gem has been taken up by ruby 1.9.  Anyone seriously considering handling encodings other than US ASCII should move to 1.9.  I would rebuild character-encodings atop 1.9 if I were in the maintainer and had such a need.

Due to the low number of downloads you have an excellent opportunity to throw out your existing API and rebuild your library to integrate well with the encoding features of ruby 1.9.

I don't see why you would consider a low number of downloads to be any failure on your part.  I simply made a statement of fact.  I have many, many gems that nobody uses and I no longer maintain.  It would be ridiculous for me to attempt to attach any judgements to such a fact.
