Here an example what has been done

Topic: Amazon Forest Green-Up During 2005 Drought
Science article: http://science.sciencemag.org/content/318/5850/612

Others reproduced the computations:

Reproduction of the computations on the article "Amazon Forest
Green-Up During 2005 Drought"

The git/docker repo itself is tiny, it basically installs itself,
downloads the needed data, processes them, and runs the computations.
Quite interesting.

In the GRASS GIS case and maybe also your case, a shell/Python script
to batch process the data might do the same as you say.

Above just for illustration.
