Damn I really liked this feature, most of my gems are installed from github ;( I wasn't quite clear what this means now, gemcutter is handling it? or Are we supposed to move back to ruby forge?
Just use Gemcutter. It's really easy. Take your existing Github project, build the gem, then gem push it to Gemcutter (assuming you have the Gemcutter gem installed). It's that easy.
If your Github project is a fork, then edit the gemspec and prepend your Github username to the gem name.. then build and push. Problems all solved :)
I moved my gems to gems.neurogami.com. It's easy enough, and I trust myself more than the Next Hot Host.
While I appreciate the value of It Just Works when comes to installing gems, there's also value in users making deliberate choices about where they get they code they are installing.
