I agree with what I believe was the essence of Martin's initial post. I don't believe that filling out the reports should be automated/aggregated, but I really think that most of the point'n'click'n'edit'n'save that goes on an awfull lot of times (at least once per report made) of creating a new wiki page, and updating archive lists and so on, would be possible to automate. It's a simple repeated process, which is done in exactly the same way by a lot of people. It should be possible to make team reportings a "fill-in-the-blanks" issue, instead of the current chore.
