Request to take ownership of the terminal Ruby gem

[Fryguy]

I see Ruby was removed a long time ago, and was even questioned in #62 . Since the Ruby gem is effectively no longer maintained, I'd like to take over maintenance of it.

This Ruby gem is used by the https://github.com/ManageIQ project of which I am the Chief Architect. We use it to present Ansible terminal output in our UI. Recently, the escape_utils gem was released deprecating some of their methods. As the terminal gem depends on those deprecated methods, is it now emitting deprecations, and so I'd like to release a new version without it.

FWIW, this is the code change to the Ruby that I'd be releasing: https://github.com/buildkite/terminal-to-html/compare/v2.0.0...Fryguy:terminal-to-html:remove_escape_utils?expand=1

Howdy @Fryguy — we're generally supportive of the idea of transferring the gem.
We'll discuss it internally this week and get back to you.

Thanks @pda - Feel free to email if you want to discuss offline. I can also give some references to vouch if needed.

Hi @pda Any updates here?

[Fryguy]

@pda Bump again :) - Would love to take this one on.

Hi @Fryguy, apologies for the delay in getting back to you. We've had a discussion, and it seems like the best way forward is for you to publish a new gem based on your fork: https://github.com/Fryguy/terminal-to-html/tree/remove_escape_utils. The code was MIT licensed, so you have every right to do so, and now you have our blessing. Let us know the name you choose to publish it as, and we can link to it in our deprecation notice.
