Paul,

Perhaps you could provide some more general information on what role Maven
plays, and what sort of resources and complexity would be involved in OSGeo
doing what you suggest.

Generally speaking, I think we would be ok with doing this if it was useful
for the various Java projects but someone would need to step forward to do the
work.  Such a service would be setup and administered by SAC - the OSGeo
System Administration Committee.
