To publish the artifact we need to upload it into a repository which is synced with central. Sonatype allows this for OSS projects. According to Step 3 of https://docs.sonatype.org/display/Repository/Sonatype+OSS+Maven+Repository+Usage+Guide we need to request access to their repository by opening a ticket. I (Jochen) have an account there, so I can open the ticket. We should also allow other contributors (at least Kia) to publish new releases.
