I've been working on migrating the build-helper-maven-plugin to the Maven 4.x API. The work is available at [1] (PR is red, but that's a CI configuration problem). While doing so, I've had a hard time figuring out why some plugins are hosted at the ASF while some others are hosted at MojoHaus. This plugin in particular is used a lot (to add generated source/resources and attach artifacts) and there's no other way to do it. This is essentially a core feature of Maven, and thus, I think it should be provided by a Maven plugin. I've created a repo and migrated it at [2], but now raising the discussion...
If that causes a problem, I think we should provide a new plugin with just those goals (add main/test source/resources directory, and attach artifact). It just feels weird that Maven does not provide the required plugins directly... That said, I think we have some old plugins that have not been released since nearly 10 years [3], probably indicating they are not used anymore: verifier, acr ?, jmod, changelog, changes, doap, jdeps, linkcheck, jarsigner, jdeprscan, patch, pdf, stage. I think those should be retired...
