The central repository is not an Apache project's resource.
We've always discussed issues of the central repository in private
(except for technical details of syncing other project repositories)
and as far as policy goes it's the Maven PMC that will sets it.
Members can see the list and we're fine with that. We already know
what everyone and their uncle wants and it's unlikely a productive
discussion will ensue. You just have to look here to see that. We're
not wasting our time in endless debate. We'll decide, take feedback,
adjust, and move on. We're actually going to setup a group call to
discuss the issues on the table. So by next week we'll stuff for
people to discuss.
As far as Maven development goes, we work like just like every other
project, the repository is different and affects every project and
organization. What we are deciding is beyond the realm of Apache.

I'd love to avoid the banter of the misinformed too, but that's not
the way Apache projects are supposed to work, is it? Private lists
should only be used for things which cannot be discussed in public,
e.g., personnel issues, security breaches, etc.
