One of the authors of RFC 8899 contacted me privately (he was working out how to post here) and indicated that tool was https://github.com/blampe/goat

This is a great tool, but it seems like it has a small problem.  It might be possible to patch it up.  Carsten mentioned that some post-processing was involved in getting goat to work nicely, so maybe he already has the necessary fixups in place.  Maybe a little work might be invested in upstreaming any tweaks.

It looks like this tool is exactly the sort of thing that people should be using, assuming that we can address issues regarding text placement.
