Hi, There's a Maven repository manager at https://repository.apache.org/ that can be used to streamline the release process and the way release artifacts get synced to the central Maven repository. Essentially it's a way to use standard Maven tooling to deploy release artifacts for review, and then (once the release vote passes) deploy them to Maven central by simply approving the staged repository.
Our build and release tooling is already well prepared to take advantage of the repository manager, so unless anyone objects I'd like to ask the infra team to set up release staging support also for PDFBox. BR, Jukka Zitting
