Join forces

[sandstrom]

I found this excellent gem! 💎

It seems like there are a few ruby gems for string matching:

• https://github.com/kiyoka/fuzzy-string-match
• https://github.com/flori/amatch
• https://github.com/GlobalNamesArchitecture/damerau-levenshtein
• https://github.com/tonytonyjan/jaro_winkler/

Would it make sense to join forces? In other words, have several maintainers of one project.

String distance is a great functionality, but the API can be pretty static over time. So what's important is mostly to have several maintainers that can help each other with CI upgrades and similar.

I've opened issues in all three repos quoted above, with the same message
