Is there a reason why sbt does not support the developer key?

This would allow to minimize the pomExtra key that is required in every project that is deployed to maven central.

This link explains how you can use the sbt license and url homepage key to minize the pomExtra but I am curious why sbt does not have an equivalent for all the keys so that we could avoid this whole pomExtra thing.

Since SBT 0.13.7 the developer key is supported, eg:

developers := List(Developer("benhutchison", "Ben Hutchison", "[email protected]", url = url("https://github.com/benhutchison")))

will result in

<developers> <developer> <id>benhutchison</id> <name>Ben Hutchison</name> <email>[email protected]</email> <url>https://github.com/benhutchison</url> </developer> </developers>
