The OSSRH Guide workflow in short:

1. if you have no account sign up
2. create a project ticket
3. follow the maven deployment example

Add orssh server tag to servers to your settings.xml:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <settings xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" 
              xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
              xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 
                                  http://maven.apache.org/xsd/settings-1.0.0.xsd">
      <servers>
        <server>
          <id>ossrh</id>
          <username>your-jira-id</username>
          <password>your-jira-pwd</password>
        </server>
      </servers>
    </settings>
