http://test.rubygems.org addresses all your concerns related to RubyGems, except that it’s an opt-in thing — you must configure RubyGems to run tests upon gem installation, and the results are optionally uploaded for use by the gem author.
It is too bad that it is opt-in. And it doesn't immediately fix the problem that some authors write tests for themselves only. But it is definitely a good step in the right direction.
