On checking http://maven.apache.org/issue-tracking.html I'm told I'll need an account at http://xircles.codehaus.org/signup to file Maven issues (which seemed a little odd given the Apache.org parentage).
Even stranger the codehause signup page is powered by a project claiming to bridge open source and business with a bloke wearing a bowler hat and copyright of 2005. Now I'm slightly concerned I've hit a wrong link somehow... This isn't the impression I was expecting to file an issue within JIRA for Maven. Is it genuine and if so is it being improved upon? I was rather assuming the account I have for filing pdfbox issues would be the same used for Maven... James
