We must take action to reduce the risk of compromising Ruby Gems published from our repositories.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the RubyGems security guide to understand gem signing and certificate management. Create or obtain a certificate from the OpenTelemetry community, document the process for managing certs, and implement signing as part of the release process. Also, adopt roles and stop sharing credentials by following the RubyGems maintainer role guide.
