Not of which I'm aware.

I'm not familiar with that IDE, but in order to be directly supported
by a generator its native build system would need to support everything
in CMake's code model (static/shared/exe binaries, custom commands, etc.).

An alternative is to create an "extra" generator that produces project
files that sit next to Ninja or Makefile generator outputs.  The latter
is the real build system.  The extra project files are for the IDE.

We'd also require that someone run nightly testing for the generator
on a long-term basis in order to keep it supported.

There is workflow guidance in `CONTRIBUTING.rst` and `Help/dev/*.rst`.
As for the code itself, it is poorly documented for developers.
