Speaking as someone who also works on commons-logging (*ducking*), is
there work being done on a maven-repo-compliant-plugin or something
similar that could be run on every pom that is submitted through
MAVENUPLOAD? I.e. confirming to the rules set up here:
   http://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-ibiblio-upload.html

If not, I think I could put something together.

I have some play-stuff in the maven-repositorytools-plugin
(mojo-sandbox) as part of a bundle-deploy mojo. It includes iterating
over imports to see if they are provided by a dependency, and also
some POM element checking.


Yah, your stuff should find its way into Archiva, which is where I'm going to place my submission work, and projects which do not have their transitive closures get the boot.

Jason.
