RFE: Make the description of the Nexus staging repo configurable

[snazy]

It would be handy to be able to provide a custom description for the staging repo instead of just a string saying which plugin created it.
Additionally, can you mention the groupId+artifactId+version in the default description of the staging repo?

Agreed.

Since a staging repo can have more than one group id, artifact id, and version, it's not clear which should be used. That of the root project?

@szpak We currently replace the description when closing/releasing the staging repo. Is passing a new description mandatory for these operations?

[szpak]

Most likely not and some default comment would be assigned by Nexus. However, I've always passed my own comment, so I'm not sure.

Oh, right, you can have more than one "coordinate". Think, it doesn't really matter which artifact's used to create the description, as long it allows to distinguish different staging repos when you look into the list of staging repos in the Nexus UI. Maybe just the first artifact in a publication or so. If people really care, they can set their own description.
