Actually Aleksei already created the jaxb1-maven2-plugin.dev.java.net project.
I think its up to you, Koshuke, to decide where the plugin should be.
I 'm not certain as to whether maven plugins should be co-hosted with
the parent project or in a separate one. Nevertheless, i firmly
believe that the main project documents must explicitly refer to the
maven plugins.

Yes I'm interested in helping towards unifying maven2 building process
with dev.java.net. I begin right now :-), by stating that it may not
necessary to build another plugin! It would rather be easier to work
with pre-existent ones (i.e. release-plugin).
Waiting from you for any guidance regarding the above matter (what
mailing-lists to use, who to contact, design and architecture).
