You can write a script to :
1. backup build dir
2. call maven to checkout
3. call a script to setup env
4,5,6,7 call maven to build to do those step, you will need to
write your own plugin to plugin into maven build lifecyle.
you can use the standard life cycle or use your own
Check out the build lifecyle doc on m2 for detail
8. back to script, call m2 again to send the email out.
