That's all true :-). There is the official way of donating code to the foundation 
and that path should be followed anyway.

But what I was trying to say was that Platform CBI build is starving for
that kind of maven plugin, and getting engaged into CBI directly would
definitely get you a lot of attention (and fame) very quickly, and
gather community around nar (but now it is obvious that you have the
community, just scattered).
