Add April Monthly Update #79

I left some comments with my suggestions! We sometimes log work to slack that, although could be worth a generic mention since it's needed work that do benefit the community, it's in general not interesting for the monhtly update subscribers. This includes issues liking fixing CI, upgrading development dependencies, or fixing issues with our development environments.
I hope this makes sense!
| Welcome to the RubyGems monthly update! As part of our efforts at [Ruby Together](http://rubytogether.org/), we publish a recap of the work that we’ve done the previous month. Read on to find out what updates were made to [RubyGems](https://github.com/rubygems/rubygems) and [RubyGems.org](https://github.com/rubygems/rubygems.org) in April. | ||

| ## RubyGems News | ||
| This Month in RubyGems, we released a new version for **RubyGems(3.2.16)** and **Bundler(2.2.16)**. |

We also released Rubygems 3.2.17 and Bundler 2.2.17, the 5th of May. Releases didn't fall inside April, but most of the work for them was done during April, so I guess it's worth mentioning them.

Yes for sure, they are indeed worth mentioning
| - improved `bundle pristine` error if `BUNDLE_GEMFILE` does not exist - [#4536](https://github.com/rubygems/rubygems/pull/4536). | ||
| - fixed CI pipeline that was broken by third party releases of development dependencies. | ||
| - fixed ``"Permission denied"`` error when running Bundler specs that resulted in finding `ruby-install + chruby` to be the fix to the error - [#3957](https://github.com/rubygems/rubygems/issues/3957). | ||
| - fixed `bundle cache` with an up-to-date lockfile and specs not already installed - [#4554](https://github.com/rubygems/rubygems/pull/4554) |

In my opinion, the updates mentioned here should only be things relevant to our users, so they should appear in the respective changelogs (https://github.com/rubygems/rubygems/blob/bb93b974100e9ddff7043e648d762e8a412be04e/bundler/CHANGELOG.md#2217-may-5-2021, https://github.com/rubygems/rubygems/blob/bb93b974100e9ddff7043e648d762e8a412be04e/CHANGELOG.md#3217--2021-05-05). In particular, the entry about "fixed CI pipeline" and the entry about "fixed Permission denied" error shouldn't be included since they are just quality of life improvements for bundler developers, but not interesting for users.
Instead, I would mention the following as "highlights" for this month:
- We fixed an issue affecting custom
sidekiq-progem servers, which was preventing users from upgrading theirsidekiq-proversion.- We made
bundlermore secure by preventing any credentials from being logged to the screen, thus potentially preventing users from unintentionally leaking them when pasting them to a Github issue or similar situations.- We fixed a few resolution & materialization issues in bundler, and also improved rubygems handling of repositories including symlinks.
And I would include links to all releases made for more details.

Yes, thanks @deivid-rodriguez. I thought it's worth checking with you about the updates I added. Totally make sense to only add relevant updates I will take them out and add these ones.
Awaiting the relevant links so I can reference them.

I'd say "As part of those releases" or something similar, instead of "In addition to that". The latter might confuse users into thinking the specific improvements we list have not yet been released.

yeah, sure I can make that change too.
Draft for RubyGems monthly update.
Hi @sonalkr132 and @deivid-rodriguez can you help review my draft for this month, I captured some of these updates from the commits and PRs made for the month but let me know if they are relevant or want me to add anything else.
Thanks!
