Hi, I recently went through the process of artifact deploy/ promotion to maven central using a self hosted OSS artifactory and bintray. Its a process with a few manual steps, which could be automated (except for the last promotion to central I think) but it seems low impact enough not to bother.
I'd be happy to replicate that for gpars if that would be helpful?
