Is the work on adding TUF to RubyGems still happening? I can only find this stagnant PR: <a href="https://github.com/rubygems/rubygems/pull/719" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/rubygems/rubygems/pull/719</a>
I'm sure this has been brought up before, but I think HN should have a special tab where submissions like this get pinned--Important stores where people need to take action on stuff concerning security holes or political events (e.g. Net neutrality).
