If you mean the setup.rb/install.rb, Minero Aoki-san is.  The contact
information can be found in the opening comment of the file itself.

A quick fix is as follows:

Index: install.rb

RCS file: /src/shim/ruby16/install.rb,v

         __send__ mid, rel.sub( %r_\A.*?(?:/|\z)_, '' )
         all_dirs( curr_srcdir ).each do |d|
+          next if d == 'CVS'
           traverse task, rel + '/' + d, mid
         end
         run_hook 'post-' + task

I applied this to install.rb for use in the shim module.  Aoki-san may
want to adopt this change into setup-3.1.2/src/base.rb.
