   first, https://issues.apache.org/jira/projects/MPH/issues/MPH-183 should be solved, because currently there is absolutely nothing to debug dependencyManagement imports, and the sigstore-maven-plugin case showed that when you have such imports chained everywhere, it's really hard to understand how the dependencyManagement went in
   
   food for thought: Maven core logging does not log anything at all about reactor dependencies effective POM building nor dependencies resolution. That's why we rely (and we should make it clear to end-users) on `mvn help:effective-pom -Dverbose` for effective POM debugging and `mvn dependency:list` / `mvn dependency:tree -Dverbose` for dependency resolution  debugging
   
   should we add log to Maven core for effective POM building? I'm not convinced, because it will become too chatty I fear
   
   should we add WARN on dependencyManagement import precedence decision: I'm definitively against it, because that's not a WARN: that would be at most an INFO
   
   perhaps we need a better documentation, because I'm convinced many details are misunderstood
