could not find any trick to document the configuration aspect (Maven Site Plugin since 3.4)

then added documentation in the site: https://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-site.html#configuring-reports https://github.com/apache/maven-site/commit/9f2675ddf279d68aea3d1cefa61124bd9d872e09

> reporting plugin version looks like normal version = you need to define a version for build stability https://maven.apache.org/ref/3.8.4/maven-model/maven.html#class_reporting
> in Maven 2, it did not even benefit from pluginManagement version selection
> but since Maven 3 MNG-4162, it benefits not only from pluginManagement version but also from plugin: we need to make that clear, because versions of report plugins are a pain for users who don't know about this, because it force them to define a property that will be used both in pluginManagement/plugin and reporting
> and since Maven Site Plugin 3.4, it also benefits from pluginManagement configuration
> see https://maven.apache.org/shared/maven-reporting-exec/
