You could consider adding this to <https://authors.ietf.org/>, perhaps on
the page called "diagrams" <https://authors.ietf.org/en/diagrams> and on
the page called "tools catalog" <https://authors.ietf.org/en/tools-catalog>.

The wiki has an "Edit on GitHub" button on every page, you can create
GitHub pull requests to add content.

Best regards,
