In a discussion about LICENSE/NOTICE generation from maven remote resources plugin the result was a blocking issue in the pom content: there is no way to specify the copyright owner for a given artifact, it only allow us to specify the licenses.

I just wanted to share with you this issue, so maybe you can consider some improvement in the next pom models.

Fair enough.

AFAIK the current Maven tools are not good enough (even on a design
level, for example the POM has no concept of copyright attributions)
for automating the generation of proper NOTICE and LICENSE files.

Good point!

It currently uses the template:
"developed by $organization.name" that most time is a way to express who is the copyright holder, but this is not always true and "developed by" is not the same as a "copyright" statement.

For sure it would be better if the pom.xml allowed people to declare also who is the copyright owner somewhere.
