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?

It looks like all these Ruby package maintainers decided to, for the sake of convenience perhaps, keep their primary repos under a single 'Ruby Gems' GitHub org. That's what allowed Ruby Central to kick them out and take control of all the repos.
