CloudFront is a transparent CDN, you only need to subscribe to the
service and enable it for the S3 bucket you're using.

Then, change the URL to instead of using S3 bucket directly uses the
CNAME of the CloudFront enabled bucket.

old url: http://my-bucket.s3.amazonaws.com/path/to/my/gem.gem
new url: http://assets.gemcutter.org/path/to/my/gem.gem

Or something similar.

Taking in consideration RubyForge has lot of mirrors, collecting real
life numbers for it would be really great.
