Unless the old releases are actual Apache releases, you won't be allowed to publish them through the Apache website. Only Apache releases are distributable through Apache (and its mirroring system).
See for example Wicket: - only apache releases: http://archive.apache.org/dist/wicket/ - only old non-apache release: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=119783 The reason being that code that is developed at Apache (and brought in through the incubator) can be released as Apache releases. Apache can't take legal responsibility for old code. You'll have to build a release (and bring it to the Incubator PMC) before you can unleash it to the masses. See the release guide for more information [1].
