Thanks, Bernd, I've been reading the thread on "the no releases policy" with interest. According to this thread, anything I intend to do would be fine, in particular the publication of jar files to the Maven repositories.
OTOH, it is interesting to read that Paul Querna (who participated in the thread) called for a vote on the Orthrus lab just some days later with the expressed intension to publish releases and the reason that he was unable of doing so in a lab. That's a little bit of a contradiction, is it not? My impression is that the topic requires more clarity. Lets close this thread for now and I'll open a separate thread where we can discuss this.
