Disable the ones you don’t want, or enable just the ones you do (whichever is easiest). Something like

tasks.withType<PublishToMavenRepository>().configureEach {
	onlyIf { // condition here }
}

Is there a way to log the reason why it's being skipped?

only in comments; nothing in API. There’s a rejected enhancement request.

That's unfortunate. Was it actually rejected, or just closed because it was stale?

it shows as being closed as “not planned”

I think @wolfs had something that automatically did that to issues that were marked as stale.

could be.

Actually, the issue has been fixed in 7.6.

But actually for unconditional disabling or disabling that is determinable at configuration time, I'd probably use

enabled = false

, not

onlyIf { ... }

as then nothing has to be evaluated.
