NetBeans Plugin Portal to support JitPack Integration

[brotenet]

Hello everyone and Happy New Year to you all.

I've created a NB plugin recently (https://github.com/brotenet/netbeans-sqlite-tooling) and I would like to have also available on the NetBeans Plugin Portal, so I went through the whole Sonatype registration process (created JIRA account, requested for repo access ....) and 2 days in I'm still struggling to figure out how to get my .nmb plugin up on the Maven repository and the entire process felt like I'm begging the JIRA bots to do what I needed to do.

I have always used JitPack for publishing my .jar libraries which makes things extremely easy since it directly binds Maven coordinates to GitHub releases without having to do anything to my project's build-impl.xml file.

Is there any chance that we would see NetBeans Plugin Portal supporting the JitPack repository in the future?

It would be a great thing if such integration happens because it would make the entire plugin publication process far easier and faster than it is now, as well as more secure because it JitPack coordinates directly bind to GitHub release binaries.
