Yeah that would be the best place.  If I remember correctly, releasing
ftp-server using incubator code is OK but you have to assure diligence for
jsecurity since the PMC is responsible for the ftp-server release.   You
just cannot release independent jsecurity jars as part of ftp-server.  Now
what this translates to in release mechanics is you'll have to replicate the
jsecurity code as part of ftp-server and cannot depend on the jsecurity jar
being in the maven repo.

Then when they graduate I think you can shed the code and just rely on their
dependencies.  Again tho this is just faint memories of what I gathered from
past experiences.  I'm no authority.  Others would know best.
