One of the nice things about Maven's pom.xml file is that it defines a machine-readable format for listing the project title (name), license, main authors, contributors, inception year, project homepage, and other useful metadata. Such data can be fed into ORT, which helps to automatically generate a software bill of materials. IMO, it was a bit of an oversight by the Gradle team to not require such items as part of the build scripts (e.g., as standard property file entries).
