why don't we use sbt-sonatype? #37

what's the advantage of going through bintray-sbt, given that ultimately the artifacts are destined for Sonatype instead?

as @xerial points out, using sbt-sonatype could save us the trouble of having to use the Sonatype web UI to close and release the staging repos. that costs an extra 5 minutes or so (longer if it's been a while and we need to remember exactly how it goes).

currently we use the manual step:

  • as an opportunity for last-second sanity-checking
  • as a way for the Scala team to retain control over the final step, instead of ceding it entirely to community maintainers? I'm not actually sure if this was an intentional aspect of this process, or it just sort of turned out that way?
