Thanks. A quick read there and it seems like the policy is that either
the project publishes directly (which seems to be quite an involved
process to set up), or a 3rd party uses the 3rd party upload system;
but they don't want project releases using the 3rd party upload system
as a publication system.

So it looks like your options are:

1) do a 3rd party upload yourself; or
2) submit patches to the build system so that Kris can easily push
releases to the repository

option 2) is the longer-term fix but it does seem like quite a bit of
work (I'm not even sure if you can do that without putting a maven
build around the existing ant build)
