There are at least 3 build tools in apache: ant is one of them,
gump and maven ( there are more actually ). There are many
projects whose releases will be in such a repositroy. The policy
and the format of the descriptors must be set in an apache-wide
project. 

I know that the files and descriptors on ibiblio are 
available to everyone. Just like sourceforge downloads and 
mirrors are available to everyone. 

My point is that an apache repository and the descriptors and
layouts that will be used in apache need to be a project that 
is common to all build tools and with a bigger community than
Maven has ( i.e. including Nicola and Sam Ruby and ant people
- and much more ).
