Your effort started on August 5th.

On Sep 25th, you said "you would have the test packages ready to go in
the next few days".

On Oct 20th, I pinged the bug report, Ccing you, but you did not reply.

On Dec 29th, you said you were "meeting with your mentor in a day or two
to get them uploaded".

On Jan 10th, I pinged you again, without reply.


So, after 7 months:
- we still haven't seen any code from you
- we don't know who your mentor is
- you have been repeatably ignoring pings


When you do you plan to make your code public? What are your plans
regarding co-maintainance? What are your plans regarding ruby libraries
packaged in Debian?

Maintaining a package that is part of the
Ruby toolchain requires strong commitment and availability. I don't want
to discourage you from contributing to Debian, but I hope that you will
do so with the help of more experienced contributors, and not on your
own.
