"The Ruby community even has their own acronym for being nice to other developers: MINASWAN"
No, that is not true. That was coined, if I remember correctly, by the pickaxe.
Matz is nice, but how does this translate to any other bad suggestion out there? I don't understand that logic.
It's also not as if it is ... impossible to make suggestions to ruby core that are accepted?
Like hundreds other people manage? Why does the dude above fail?
Here is the issue tracker:

You'll see a lot of assignee's done to matz, nobu, koichi etc... I mean they don't have 50 arms each and infinite time so they have to prioritize on what they work.
"Some are xenophobic"
That is so totally rubbish.
Just go to the japanese bboy scene. They are not xenophobic AT ALL.

They are people like YOU AND ME. Assuming that there is a huge, insurmountable cultural difference is just c-r-a-p.
Or do you think that every japanese loves video games? Or loves ninjas and samurai? Or knows karate?
