Besides having the time and interest you'll need the rights do to the
check in, too ;-)

I'm trying to understand the XEmacs development process and by looking
at the jobs-page it seems(!?) like it is the "Package Patch Tender"s
job to follow up on these types of patches. 

Since there is no dedicated XEmacs maintainer of the package he should
look for a maintainer outside of XEmacs. In this case the package
comes from ruby itself so he should look for someone there to approve
of the patch. Right!?

So packages that are maintained for XEmacs outside of XEmacs should be
more or less possible just to accept when they are updated?

A good strategy for Hans would then be to adress the ruby maintainer
either to accept the patch or, better yet, accept and include it in
the distribution?
