Description

As part of the Maven SCM Cleanup process (see Maven Ecosystem Cleanup - Apache Maven - Apache Software Foundation) all providers except gitexe, jgit, mercurial and svnexe should be declared deprecated.

 So in the main site page we publish a table listing all the now deprecated providers followed by the notice that the maven-scm code for these can from now on only be used on an as-is basis (no new features and/or bugfixes will be introduced and the provider will be removed with the next major release).

 For each provider a separate sub-task will be created and with each of these sub-tasks a remark on the provider main page will be established noticing of the deprecation of this provider.  

 After this has been released all issues regarding the then deprecated providers will be rejected as 'wont fix'.
