If you prefer that ...

I don't think admin rights are necessary as long as I have
"commit"/webdav access. And no svn or git-svn interaction should be
needed to upload to the maven repository.

Take a look at the distributionManagement section of the
google-maven-repository:

 - http://google-maven-repository.googlecode.com/svn/repository/com/google/google/1/google-1.pom

Looks pretty easy to set up. About maintaining it, I don't mind doing
"mvn deploy" once in a while, but some kind of update policy should
probably be worked out in any case.
