Thanh has idea about having projects create their own staging repos, link RelMang team to that as "this is my release, please include it", we aggregate that into a release repo and release it. This set of URLs to staging repos will live in an Int/Dist POM. Int/Dist will build with these, the existing MR distro, produces the final distro. These resulting artifacts would go to Int/Dist's staging repo.

Projects would get their artifacts into the staging repos they want to produce using maven-staging job. Not sure if all projects have this, need all of them to. This could replace the merge job.

MR staging -> Int/Dist staging -> all unmanaged staging repos
