We maintain a forked git repo for our RubyGems patches. Everything is
handled as branches that correspond to the main RubyGems' repo's tags,
e.g. the v1.8.24 tag/release led to the following branch in JRuby's
fork:

https://github.com/jruby/rubygems/tree/jruby-rubygems_1_8_24

All the changes should be diffable and blameable for easy investigation.

We are debating just removing the maven support, since it has never
really worked quite right.
