I should add that the ASF was one of the first places that java CI tooling was put together, with Apache Gump being the nightly build-from-scratch build of the entire OSS java stack. I'm not sure if it predates Martin Fowler's CruiseControl —if not it was concurrent.
I will also note that the first written use of the term "continuous deployment" was actually a paper of mine discussing deployment of things using the ASF build tools and CruiseControl, http://www.hpl.hp.com/techreports/2002/HPL-2002-274.pdf —again something that is concurrent with the work in the area by Kent Beck and Martin Fowler. Put succinctly: irrespective of how the ASF infrastructure team works, the build tool automation developed at the ASF was driven by the need of its authors to automate their building and testing; this happened at the same time as the development of junit, the first CI tooling, and the first early steps in continuous deployment —all stuff we helped enable.
