Almost all of these are due to the dependency chain jms (virtual
provide) -> avalon-logkit -> velocity -> (all of maven). avalon-logkit
is basically a dead project, and velocity is the only package that
requires it; akurtakov and I are currently working on patching the
avalon-logkit requirement out of velocity (it's only optional anyway),
which should clean things up a bit.

I talked it over with akurtakov. I propose reverting the F-12 and
rawhide spec files to the F-11 version in the time-being while you and
he work at removing the need for it. This will allow it to build.
None of the changes in the F-12 spec file since F-11 have ever been
built (e.g. 1.1 shows up in the changelog along with various changes and
then 1.2, but 1.1 nor 1.2 was ever built). The 1.1 version sources
appear never to even have been imported; backing up the sources file 1
revision results in the F-11 1.0-M2 tarball.
I have applied for commit/ACL rights in Fedora admin for devel and I
also got Fernando to give me rights for F-12 which he currently still owns.
