YAML.safe_load and ruby's unicode_normalize method

[localhostdotdev]

introduced in ruby 2.2: https://www.honeybadger.io/blog/ruby-unicode-normalization/ (2.3 just got EOL)

about the safe_load, if doesn't change anything as it's just data files, I just don't like "eval"s in my code :)

also this doesn't work in rails 6 at least because of the ActiveSupport normalize method that got renamed

Without this patch, on Rails 6.0 this deprecation warning will appear whenever to_ascii is called:

DEPRECATION WARNING: ActiveSupport::Multibyte::Chars#normalize is deprecated and will be removed from Rails 6.1. Use #unicode_normalize(:nfc) instead.

This repo hasn't had any activity in some years. It looks like I may be a committer -- I don't remember how that happened!

But I'm not an 'owner' who can add other committers/owners. And I haven't looked at this code and don't think I currently use it.

If @norman is around, I wonder if they would consider making other people committers/owners to maintain the gem? I am not sure if it currently really has any active maintainers.

If we don't hear from @norman, those interested in working on it (perhaps those writing PR's) might consider a fork?
