Sonatype manages central (at least they're paying for it). I've seen Jason mentioning the checksum issue several times. However, I'm not sure if their policy is to fix it or not. My guess is not as it hasn't been done and it should be quite easy to do with a script. One of the main problems are that the files come from external sources and that's where the improper checksums have been calculated. This problem will decrease in the future as new tools will be in place to enforce that incorrect stuff like this isn't inserted into central.
