I want to set the pom name and description like this to satisfy the maven central requirements:

publishing {
    publications.all {
        pom {
            name = 'My Library'
            description = 'A concise description of my library'
            url = 'http://www.example.com/library'
        }
    }
}

Expected Behavior

Generated poms should contain:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project ...>
  ...
  <name>My Library</name>
  <description>A concise description of my library</description>
  <url>http://www.example.com/library</url>
</project>

Current Behavior

The 3 lines exist in the actual artifact's pom. However the pom for the plugin marker does not contain the name and description.

Context

This worked in Gradle 4.10.3. On newer versions it is broken. Tested it with 5.0, 5.6.4, 6.0 and 6.2.

Because of this issue it's not possible to publish plugin markers to maven central.

Steps to Reproduce

This is a sample project with publishing set up. If you run publish it will write to build/repo:
publish-sample.zip
