You're quite correct. My apologies.

I misunderstood the 39411 number to be the total number of gems submitted over all time, rather than the total number of extant versions. My bad.

Ironically, this is the same issue of sloppy testing, just at another level (i.e. missing usability tests on the http://rubygems.org/gems website for at least months, maybe years)
