Hi Ceki,
Would you be open to using a Nexus repository manager built for this kind of stuff (granting/removing access, promoting artifacts to Maven Central when you specify), etc?
Hi Les, The current approach where artifacts are pushed during 'mvn deploy' to a private repo and then having Maven Central automatically pickup changes is an *automated*, simple and very convenient process. I would not want to change in favor of a process with no identified upside (assuming shell accounts are needed for integrating with the web-site anyhow).
Sonatype, the company behind Nexus and Maven Central offer repository hosting for open source projects:

This way, you don't have to open up SSH/shell accounts, use SCP or expose your systems to people you may not know.
SSH accounts would be needed for the web-site in any case.
Thoughts?
Les
