Hi, I have a gem named Teaspoon (https://github.com/modeset/teaspoon), we renamed it Teaspoon after a conversation with the existing gem maintainers were willing to open up the namespace as seen here:


But the source code and documentation links on rubygems still point to the mintdigital repo (https://rubygems.org/gems/teaspoon)

Wondering what can be done to get those links pointing to the right repo, and as a security follow up, that the old gems maintainers can't do any shenanigans that might put users of Teaspoon at risk.

Thanks in advance.

You can edit the source code and documentation links from the RubyGems.org website. You'll need to click the "Edit" link on the gem page. In the future we're going to move those to the gemspec, like the home page url, but that hasn't happened yet.
