I don’t see any maven entries for s3 connector.  
My understanding is these are open source.  
Any reason why these connectors are not available on maven ?  
How are users expected to use the open source version ?

You can download from the release page on GitHub. Why would you need it in Maven?

We have seen customers put them in there own Maven, pull it into new projects and break the dependencies
