Yep, the m1 version is overwritten each time - but the m2 is only
converted when it is changed.

So if the m1 version where edited, you might find the m2 one gets lost
which would be a problem.

This is a good point. OTOH, not fixing it at the source means that
changes at the source are never propogated, or if we improve the repo
converter to better convert existing poms we can't have it rerun over
everything. Also, if we don't ask them to fix the source repo, we have
to make the same edits next release.

I'm not sure what the best solution is here. Do you have any thoughts?

Sure. I mailed commons-dev and didn't get any objections to me going in
and fixing things. I don't think we should have to monitor each software
project either, but creating a patch and filing it in their issue
tracker should help. We did this with dom4j, for example.
