As you noticed from my recent questions to the infra team, cvs and 
svn have been separated from minotaur *permanently*, and therefore we 
cannot use cvs.apache.org <http://cvs.apache.org> anymore.  We need 
to change it to something else.  I thought specifying 
minotaur.apache.org <http://minotaur.apache.org> directly, but Noel 
kindly pointed me out that it's wrong.  For now, we can use 
people.apache.org <http://people.apache.org>, but I think we need to 
file a JIRA issue about this so the infra team can create a new 
generic name for this use case, such as build.apache.org 
<http://build.apache.org> or site.apache.org 
<http://site.apache.org>. Meanwhile, we can go with people.apache.org 
<http://people.apache.org>.

To clarify, after a convo with Trustin, this change is needed because 
we need a place to store our SNAPSHOTs somwhere, and cvs.apache.org is 
not this somwhere anymore :)

It would be better if we have a place named maven.apache.org - and we 
will ask for it - but right now, we don't have it, so we have to move 
to a permanent and stable place to store those SNAPSHOTs that maven 
need. This is why Trustin suggest people.apache.org.

This may not work, creating new host names like build.apache.org.   The 
reason for this is that the Apache server will just redirect back to 
people.apache.org.  The reason that we care is that maven does not 
follow redirects that go to another site.
