I sorta agree but for pragmatic reasons I would like to see it put in the 
module descriptors so that the responsibility for maintaining em can be 
pushed out to the users. It would make it much easier for users to add 
specific nags 

ie I would like to be notified when any of the projects I am working on start 
to use deprecated APIs so I could add a nag for that, similarly I would like 
to add nags for checkstyle violations for any of the projects I am in etc.

However moving this into the central gump repository would make it harder for 
me to add these nags (if I wasn't a committer that is) and harder to remove 
them after no longer relevent.



BTW: If anyone is taking feature requests for nags atm heres two things I 
would love to see ...

* summary nags; ie send one mail with a list of all failuress in a set of 
projects and URL pointers to the relevent web-pages

* wildcard nags; ie I want nags for all modules that match pattern 
"jakarta-avalon.*" or maybe all projects that match pattern 
"(jakarta-avalon.*|excalibur-*)"
