ReleasePackager - A bit wordy and bland. I want a memorable word/pun/acronym
Crate/Box/Luggage - all sorts of "package" type words are taken.
RelApps - Same as Relapse.
Relapse - too many negative connotations
LUMP => Lump is the Ultimate Multi-platform Packager
RUMP => Ruby's Ultimate Multi-platform Packager (rump exists: https://bitbucket.org/sterlingcamden/rump)

Homeboy, menial, jemadar, knave.
Rawr (Release Applications Written in Ruby (unfortunately, I've found a couple of projects with the same name)).
EaseRelease (funny rhyming, as for me).
Releasy (Release + easy).

Exotic one: podarunok (which means "gift" in transliterated Ukrainian language) or "подарунок". It sounds like that: http://goo.gl/uc0eY

I am rapidly warming to 'Releasy' (Release + easy). I think it is a good descriptive name, but lacks flavour (compared to the to-long 'ReleasePackager'. I think 'release' and 'releaser' were already gone or I'd have had one of those originally).
wrappify is just some of what Relapse does, so not so good a description, I don't think. Releasify is a possible spin on that, but I'm not so keen.

So, down to Releasy or Lump, I think. Maybe Lumpy or Lumper, since I like it better than plain Lump (and ignore the extra letters in the acronym)

Lumpy => Lumpy is the Ultimate Multi-platform Packager and no-one should ask Y :P
