Description

the current error message doesn't tell which report plugin caused a failure:

[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
[INFO] BUILD FAILURE

[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-site-plugin:3.4-SNAPSHOT:site (default-site) on project failure-it: Error during page generation: Error rendering Maven report: Cannot run changelog command : Can't load the scm provider. SCM Connection is not set. -> [Help 1]

then people report m-site-p failed, which is wrong, and we need to guess from error message which report plugin failed

this should be enhanced with information on the report which failed
