It looks like the other stuff in staging is the stuff I pushed out
when we released 2.1.8.1... So the question is, should I remove stuff
from the staging repo once the vote finishes? Looking at previous
releases (2.1.6) staging is never cleaned out.

I had the same problem once before. The gpg plugin is a bit of a
mystery to me. But, I think Musachy figured out at one point that the
section in the release guide that describes the information in the
settings.xml is important, and that combined with stuff in the
"release" profile makes the stuff get signed. The other thing I
remember is that I don't think the release plugin was making the
"release" profile active (as it is supposed to). So, I think that when
you do either the release:prepare or release:perform, you have to do
-Prelease as well. Sorry this isn't clear, but I don't feel like I
ever really solved this either. I know when I did 2.1.8.1, I specified
-Prelease any time I ran maven :)

The thing to do with these is to copy all of them to another machine
and make sure those detached sigs validate the artifacts in staging.
IIRC, you also have to make sure that your key is in some KEYS file
somewhere. If they work, then just transfer them to staging.

If we're going to do that, I would suggest that we move the struts2
artifacts into the struts2 section of the repo so that they get built
/ released together. They can (should) become part of the modules
section of the struts2 parent pom.
