We've just discovered a Google App Engine app called pomyard abusing several repos. Based on the behavior and name of the service, I have reason to believe they may be attempting to scrape public all maven repos not just central, ignoring robots.txt. If you have a public repo, I suggest you block the user agent shown below.
