I don’t quite get how this happened? Ruby Central can’t just reach into my GitHub and declare they own something. Was it under the Ruby central account? Or an org account that decided they “own” the repo?

I said in the post that HSBT who was a maintainer invited Marty as an owner of the GitHub account. This was against the wishes of the other maintainers who had established practices for adding new maintainers.

So HSBT was the owner? And transfered ownership?

HSBT was a maintainer who had "owner" permissions on GitHub.
