Hi, There might be some confusion here, at least I'm a little confused with this thread.
On one hand, we all agree that .gitignore and .gitattributes (and so on) are useful when building a project (prior to the final packaging). On the other hand, once the project is built is useless to have a .gitignore/.gitattribute, etc. on the final JAR package, this applies to maven-jar-plugin, maven-source-plugin, maven-javadoc-plugin and so on... Since the source-release-assembly generates a buildable release project, then it makes sense to include .gitignore/.gitattributes on the *source-release.zip file.
