Description

What would you like Renovate to be able to do?

Copy/paste of comment from @rarkins in discussion #10585.

I would definitely like to parse gemspec files, but only using JS-based parsing and therefore they may need to confirm to "conventions" rather than being completely free of convention. Let's have a feature request issue to discuss it if we don't already

Did you already have any implementation ideas?

Nope. 😄

Contributor guide

Research direction
Look at existing manager implementations in Renovate for parsers (e.g., Dockerfile, package.json). Understand how Renovate extracts dependencies from files and how to add a new manager for gemspec files using JS based parsing with conventions.
