Why not use '.gem' as the file extension? Why the encouragement to
support one or both of gmi / gemini instead of adding a new one?
You can use whatever extension you want, or no extension, as long as
your server is configured to serve it as text/gemini. I think the main
reason people didn't use .gem originally is because it's already used
for an image file format, and maybe also for Ruby gems.

Image file format? Huh. Good to know.

I hadn't thought about *no* extension. I'm probably gonna skip that, butmake it configurable.
