In our dev team we separate releng concerns from dev ones.

Sounds like a bad idea to separate them. They are tightly coupled. Code affects releng, releng affects code. You cannot isolate them.

Our idea is that, it's not the same person which is responsible for the development and for the release engineering.

Ok, but IMHO, the guy doing release engineering is part of the dev team, and should be allowed to commit poms into bundles.

The releng engineer maintains a project which inject tycho configuration during the build process on CI. By doing so we separate eclipse bundle development from maven considerations.

What is the gain in separating? Looks like it makes things more difficult. Moreover, separating both concerns prevent your devs from testing local builds and so on. By isolating, you reduce cooperation.
