Can you remind us which gems you maintain? Just so I can add them to my "steer clear" list.

If you're the sort of developer that thinks it's ok for one person to download "version 1.0" of something and then the next to download something different that _also_ claims to be "version 1.0", then your standards of rigorousness probably aren't what I'm looking for.
