See:

• Maven central pom
• Gradle plugins portal pom

There is also a techical linking POM in gradle plugins portal (to support gradle plugin activation by id syntax), but it's generated by gradle plugin and intentionally lacks all information except actual plugin dependency

maybe it's a problem with the site on which I'm viewing the pom file.
