Description

The SCM (developer) location is already configured in the project scm tag.
The release plugin could allow to use it by default if it is here and no other configuration overrides it.

According to MRELEASE-103, it was once the case (after 2.0-beta-5), but it doesn't seem to work anymore.

With a pom like

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/maven-v4_0_0.xsd">

I get
