Actually, I think as long as the release is pushed to central via the
approved route for artifacts belonging to groupId org.eclipse.*, is
signed by at least one of the eclipse committers of the project and as
long as the source for that release is in the eclipse.org SCM, then I
personally see that as being fine.

The source was only loaded into the eclipse SCM 9 days ago... and I
only saw that today...
