Yes I'd personally love to see this happen. Stuff like automating the conversion on a gem being published, setting up hosted yum repos, and deeper gem inspection so as to pull the maximum that we can from a gem package. It's a tricky project but is sorely needed / would be well used. If you need any help getting started w/ the isitfedoraruby codebase just ask, be sure to also check out gem2rpm.
