Same thing goes for mirror and stats URIs.
There is one common resource, however, which I would really like to be
offered by CBI: a common index.html for update sites that adheres to
eclipse.org's current theme.
At Code Recommenders we use [2] and the maven-remote-resource-plugin to
copy it into place during out builds [3]. As you can see, [2] can even
interpolate information from the POM, like ${project.name} or
${project.description}.

We have a similar mojo for JBoss Tools, that is reused by some Eclipse projects such as EGit to assign referenced repositories (was associateSites), and we use simple property placeholder ${...} for templates (which is enough for us and more comfortable than Velocity for Java developers).
It's https://github.com/jbosstools/jbosstools-maven-plugins/blob/master/tycho-plugins/repository-utils/src/main/java/org/jboss/tools/tycho/sitegenerator/GenerateRepositoryFacadeMojo.java

Another interesting plugin about templating, not related to Tycho, is the gstring-maven-plugin which will make PHP and JSP users nostalgic: https://github.com/gstring-maven-plugin/gstring-maven-plugin
