blacklisting unavailable remote reps

Description

once one of the repos configured as a proxy-connector is down, the mvn build-process slows down extremely as the connect time-out is about 1 minute (for each repo and each artifact).
There should be a configuration available to adjust blacklisting repos that have been identified as non-reachable.
Such repos should be able to get re-avtivated manually.

we already have the "cache failures" option - this should address your needs

Not quite. The use-case is not "unable to find artifact x on remote-repo y".
The use-case is "cannot connect to the remote-repo due to server-unavailability".

The alterative would be to manually check every hour if all the remote repo's that are configured are still available

Ideal solution: custom cron-task to (asynchronously) check the availability of all the remote repos.
Once a connect fails, the sys-admin should get an email-notification
"Warning: remote-repository y is currently down and has been locked! Unlock repository [Link to page to unlock the locked repository]"

Please re-open. Ty.

reopening for investigation. This is the intent of the feature - it should blacklist a resource on 4xx errors, and a repository on 5xx errors (with an expiry time)

we currently have no way to tell what is a resource error and what is a repository error, so it is cache failures per resource. We're not tracking timeouts as separate errors.

Moving this out to do some more advanced analysis of remote state for managing connections

also note that we now have the ability to take a remote repo offline. This can be done manually, but we may also want to hook these two features together.
