i dislike the way that the dist target works in the crypto (copied from mailet-api build). IMO a source distribution should be created by an svn export and then hand rolled. this ensures that the source is exactly what's in version control and so give better replicatability.
I prefer the maven2 way that build, sign, upload every package you want to release (source, binary and other). Creating source packages using a tool allow us to run checks (e.g: rat) in the release process and this give much more quality. If the tool is good the replicatability is done by creating a source package that is almost identical to the svn export.
That said, I'm not against using svn export as long as I'm not the release manager ;-)
i would prefer the dist target to create simple binary compressed artifacts containing generated site documentation and jar. this would be a break from tradition.
About the tradition of including the generated website or generated javadocs in the sources distribution I never liked it. IMO the website should be online and the javadocs should be in an additional released package.
