Link is broken, FTR here’s the piece of configuration to add to the Maven GPG plugin:

            <configuration>
              <!-- Prevent gpg from using pinentry programs -->
              <gpgArguments>
                <arg>--pinentry-mode</arg>
                <arg>loopback</arg>
              </gpgArguments>
            </configuration>
