since the problem is with maven-metadata.xml* files, not parent directory, 
there is a Unix trick to fix the permissions without waiting for the owner to 
do it: copy the files to new ones and remove old ones

for f in maven-metadata.xml*; do mv $f $f~; cp $f~ $f; chmod g+w $f; rm -f 
$f~; done

I just did it on pmd plugin 2.4-SNAPSHOT: you can deploy the snapshot now
