I'd like to see Ruby deprecate some of the rarely used standard library items. For example, does Rinda and GDBM need to be in the standard lib? Maybe they're better suited as stand-alone gems? Similarly, I think it should stop bundling some gems. I see they are moving some gems from 'default' to 'bundled', which I guess is some sort of deprecation or demotion -- that's great! ** I'd also like to see them move development onto Github, that should make it easier for more people to participate.

That's been slowly happening [1]. For instance, with Ruby 3.0, net-telnet and xmlrpc were removed from the stdlib and now have to be installed as standalone gems. [1] https://stdgems.org/removed/ https://stdgems.org/removed/

>I'd also like to see them move development onto Github, that should make it easier for more people to participate. This has been discussed a few times in the past 5 years. But some member refused to use Github due to it not being open source. Not sure if that is still the case but you could certainly try and ask again.

  GitHub is becoming a bloated mess however... if it aint broke don't fix it.

Looks like dbm/gdbm were removed from the ruby repo, just not documented in the release notes: https://github.com/ruby/ruby/pull/4525 https://github.com/ruby/ruby/pull/4525 https://github.com/ruby/ruby/pull/4526 https://github.com/ruby/ruby/pull/4526 https://github.com/ruby/ruby/pull/4619 https://github.com/ruby/ruby/pull/4619
