   Thanks @vibhatha. I think what's important here is:
   - We do not want to _require_ Arrow Java developers use old, unpatched Maven 
versions.
   - We also do not necessarily want to require all Arrow Java environments 
(including our CI environments) to have the newest Maven version. (@lidavidm

   So how can we achieve that? Can we set minimum versions but allow 
environments to have newer versions?
   
   In a `pom.xml` file, does `<version>3.3.9</version>` mean that we require 
version 3.3.9 exactly, or version 3.3.9 or higher? (I think it means "or 
higher" but I'm seeing conflicting information about this.)
   
   Should we be using [version 
ranges](https://docs.oracle.com/middleware/1212/core/MAVEN/maven_version.htm#A1000686)
 like `<version>[3.3.9,)</version>`?
