Adding copper to maven central

[keltono]

Hey everyone,
We (namely @krame505 and I) were thinking about adding copper to maven central.
The process to get this done is not hugely complex, but there are a few steps that require some extra info from everyone.

• To get the project published, we need a txt record to show that we are in control of the domain, for which I think we just need to talk to CSE-IT.
  • the txt record points to a jira ticket -- I made a personal account but in the process of creating the ticket it also wants a list of others who would want to contribute. I talked it over with Lucas and eric and we decided that individual accounts for everyone would be enough, so everyone would need to create an account here and give me their usernames.

There are a few other steps (like updating the pom.xml, generating the PGP keys, etc.) but I think the list of usernames is the only thing that I can't just do myself.

Let me know if anyone has any further thoughts!

Realizing now that I should have pinged @ericvanwyk .
