Speaking for the ruby herd (which isn't a project and doesn't have a
lead, but I'm sure Richard or Josh will correct any mistakes I make):

No. Even though there are plenty of people in the herd only a few of us
commit on a regular basis. We could use more people helping out with
ruby stuff, especially now that ruby 1.9 has been released. At the
moment our bug list is only growing, and we don't have much time to
pro-actively bump any of the packages.

On the bright side we've identified and partly fixed a number of eclass
issues, and things are shaping up in that department.

Future plans:
- get ruby 1.9 into the tree and allow for it work in parallel with ruby
1.8.
- rework the gems eclass so that we can actually test and patch gems
without grossly abusing ebuild conventions.
- create a ruby project to make coordination a bit easier and have a
specific place for in-progress stuff and general knowledge on ruby in
Gentoo.
- recruit some more people to help out with ruby.

Kind regards,

Hans
