Hi Mike, I agree with splitting this up now, but would like to treat changes.xml as an "issue tracker".
ie: maven-issue-provider-api maven-issue-provider-jira maven-issue-provider-file (changes.xml) maven-issue-provider-bugzilla|trac|clearquest|scarab|sourceforge Then: maven-issue-provider-plugin with: issue-provider:changes-report issue-provider:roadmap-report and maven-announcement-plugin with: announcement:generate announcement:mail using the issue-provider library to source content either from JIRA, changes.xml, etc I think the best place to work on it is the sandbox at Maven where the issue tools are now.
