It was really the main goal of the project, to provide a drop in replacement for gem hosting from RubyForge...this is the culmination of that and working together with the RubyGems team to make instant gem deployment (gem push) available out of the box when you download RubyGems.
There was a lot of work involved with this over the past few months... We transferred ownerships of gems and logins over from RubyForge, setup redirects for the docs site now at http://docs.rubygems.org, and a lot of effort went into getting code from the gemcutter gem merged into RubyGems proper.
