It's open source... fork it. I'm sure someone will.

Well, there are already over 400 Rails forks on github. ;-)

Yes, but someone needs to step up and build a community for it to be a viable fork.

There's a difference between someone forking Rails on GitHub so they can say "look at me, I maintain my own fork of Rails" (like 99% of those Rails "forks") and a legitimate open source project.
