There are probably things that could be better documented. Or maybe
could be handled better by the build scripts. But these should be
reported to the project (on jira), since it seems clear that those
working on the project are not running into these problems or have
long forgotten about it (after they fixed their local builds).

Yes there are a few known flaky tests.

This is the way I've seen most ASF projects handling these kinds of
artifacts. e.g. I see multiple copies of bootstrap in the Hadoop repo.
Same in Spark.

And you can't get rid of all binaries in a source release... e.g.
images and fonts. Fonts could come from 3rd party places and
downloaded when building the sources, but is that worth the extra cost
(everyone downloading this thing from the net all the time)? Is there
any maven plugin or something like that for aiding with this sort of
thing?

Images will in many cases be project-specific.

Not saying that the current state is optimal but you're not really
providing an alternative here.
