That would also require us to switch from Maven to Ant (I am already
preparing for the cheering applause to this proposition ... and
having to defend an unpopular Maven build system, as I would most
likely end up being the person tasked with yet another switch :-/)

+1. I can offer objectstyle.org web server for that since we are
already using it for dependencies that haven't been officially
mavenized by their authors, and since hosting third party packages on
ASF infrastructure could be a bad idea.
BTW, maybe we should raise a question of pros and cons of a non-
offical repo for ASF projects on the infra (or maybe maven?) list.
Could get some advice straight from the source.
