See https://bintray.com/docs/api/#_debian_upload for how to upload/sign artifacts with the Bintray API. Your release managers will need to get accounts on Bintray and then open INFRA tickets to get added to the Cassandra team in the Apache org there, at which point you'll have full admin rights over the cassandra repo there. If you want to start playing with it, go ahead and create an account and let me know the username so I can invite/add you.
reprepro isn't relevant here - the Bintray Debian repos don't support the full range of reprepro's functionality by a long shot, but for what you're doing, I don't think you need anything that's not available through the Bintray API. Alternatively, if that turns out to not work for you, you can use a generic repo that allows you to just upload files/directories, so you could keep doing what you're doing now but upload to Bintray rather than dist. Others on the Infra team will know for sure, but I'm pretty confident that a redirect from dist to bintray is feasible. A.
