Hello,
I am not a Ruby packager nor any kind of an active member of the
Debian Med team. I just looked briefly at BioRuby a few minutes
ago after reading your message. I am a retired clinician and not
a biology lab researcher. I have done some translating from Perl to
Ruby and maybe I could just be a helper? With the Detroit area
economy at a low point, our graduate school is kind of small right
now and I don't think I have near enough to adopt BioRuby as a
class project.
Here are 2 works in progress:
A translation of the Perl in a new bioinformatics book by St. Clair
and Visick.

A translation of the Perl from the NCBI Entrez utilities to Ruby and
Ruby on
Rails
