      Description

      Currently Maintainers info is being extracted from pom.xml, and it is not maintained well in many plugins. It would be great to source the data from https://github.com/jenkins-infra/repository-permissions-updater instead.

      Implementation idea:

      • Plugin site API checks out https://github.com/jenkins-infra/repository-permissions-updater on startup and then refreshes it periodically, e.g. every 24 hours
      • Any user with upload permission is considered as maintainer. The list might be merged with pom.xml metadata
      • There is an in-memory cache for maintainers so that we do not read the maintainer list every time

      Later we can use the same engine to pull more information from https://github.com/jenkins-infra/repository-permissions-updater

          I wonder whether it wouldn't make sense to:

          • Implement this in update-center2 (which is where the current data is exposed)
          • Use RPU/LDAP as data source, as these are who we generally consider to be maintainers – you're not a maintainer if you cannot release.

          LDAP is one f the ways. Another way is to generate a maintainers report on the Jenkins infrastructure and include it when generating the update center
