If you have a look at the packages I maintain I added catalog metadata to htem
and I generate automatically
https://ci.inria.fr/pharo-contribution/job/PharoProjectCatalog/HTML_Report/?
Now this would require to load all the configruatiion files in the images and
this is not what you want.

What we could do is to extend the catalog builder server to emit STON files in
addition to the html one
and the browser could just load these files without having to download all the
configurationOf.
If somebody want to help, the code of the catalog builder is available and the
jenkins job up and running
