During the first days of the task of Tomcat embedding into Geronimo, I 
had the same concern about Tomcat's jars being available in Maven repo 
(i.e. ibiblio.org). I asked Tomcat developers to upload the jars 
Geronimo uses (c.f. 
http://nagoya.apache.org/eyebrowse/ReadMsg?listName=tomcat-dev@jakarta.apache.org&msgId=2020897). 
So, whenever a new Tomcat version is released, its jars are published to 
ibiblio.org manually. There's no process to do it automatically.

That's the only way to get around it. Any ASF committer can do it, just 
create a JIRA item and one will pick it up.
