This is what I can think of:
Makefile in the /$year/ directory has a special target that creates
Makefile.local. At the end of Makefile, Makefile.local is included if
it exists.
Makefile.local is created by a perlie that first reads all local
foo-report.wml files and prints "foo.wml: foo-report.wml" (or was it
"foo.$(LANG).html: foo-report.wml"). Then, if LANG is not english, it
repeats in $ENGLISHDIR, but limits the output to those foo.wml files
that weren't printed out yet.
For the index file, if there is a foo-report.wml file either in the
local or in the $ENGLISHDIR directory, it prints "index.wml: files".
The Makefile.local file is regularily regenerated.

Does the above classify as "somehow"?

I don't understand what you mean. At the moment an events header
looks like:
<define-tag abbr>DesktopLinux</define-tag>
<define-tag year>2003</define-tag>
<define-tag pagetitle>Desktop Linux Summit</define-tag>
<define-tag where>San Diego, U.S.A.</define-tag>
<define-tag startdate>2003-02-20</define-tag>
<define-tag enddate>2003-02-21</define-tag>
<define-tag infolink>http://www.desktoplinux.com/summit/</define-tag>
<define-tag coord><a href="mailto:bdale@debian.org";>Bdale Garbee</a></define-tag>
Those tags are used by event.wml and past_event.wml. If you don't yet
know how to treat them compared to a non-defined tag, check the SPI
minutes.wml file. You don't have to define guests, absents etc.
