There are 251 packages from the Ruby team, and the list is attached.

Maybe we could coordinate and do real updates of those in the next
weeks? i.e. we could create an issue on the `meta` salsa repository,
with each one of those as a line in a checklist. or even one issue for
each packags¹, which would make it easier to coordinate as people can
assign the issue to themselves to signal they are working on it.

¹ this is easy to do via the CSV import feature from gitlab

As a side note, the fact that only 251 out of of 1344 team packages
(based on the unstable Sources file) didn't yet get an upload in the
bullseye cycle means that we are doing a pretty good job as 81% of our
packages did get an update since the buster release.
