I'm sorry I can't answer your question, but I have some of my own 
(consider this an informal poll):

What keeps people from putting their stuff in RubyForge?

Is it overkill for LOC < 10 stuff?

Are people self-concious about seems-too-alpha  code?

What would be the logistical|moral|technical issues with having a Ruby 
code snapshot/time-machine archive, something that would store a copy of 
any and all Ruby code so that there would always be a copy of it available?
