Well it starts to touch upon one of the fundamental things I'd like to
see change in Archiva, where it has a project layer over the top of
the artifacts, rather than being artifact centric. It is somewhat half
done in the current UI, and neither wins as a result.
So I think there's probably not the info now (other than to query the
database directly), but if we could arrange for the right info to be
on a page in Archiva, we can construct the same functionality for an
XML/etc view.
