sebb>Can you provide some examples?

1) META files are often missing.
For instance: https://www.apache.org/dist/commons/ ,
https://www.apache.org/dist/httpcomponents/ ,
https://www.apache.org/dist/logging/ , https://www.apache.org/dist/tika/  ,
https://www.apache.org/dist/xalan/ , https://www.apache.org/dist/xerces/,
https://www.apache.org/dist/groovy/, https://www.apache.org/dist/geronimo/ and
so on.

2) META files do not describe "who signs Nexus artifacts". In other words,
it would be nice if META files could specify that "official JMeter jars
should be signed by ..."
Current file https://www.apache.org/dist/jmeter/META lists just "binaries/"
and "sources/", and there's no room for "who signs org.apache.jmeter Maven
artifacts".
I do understand that "Maven jars" are convenience-only, however it is
really sad we use 30 or so different Apache dependencies via Maven jars,
and we don't really know which PGP keys should we trust.
