This looks really nice, thx for the work !
One question that comes to my mind is whether it would make sense to
have the documentation inside the maven-core project.
The main reason is that a single PR can then modify the code along
with the documentation.  Having them separate is a barrier to
documentation updates imho.  So the same way we merged the ITs inside
apache/maven repo, I propose we include the doc sources in that repo
and add the generation as part of the build.
Have you already discussed that ?
