I saw it. Unfortunately it wasn't a patch formatted and sent with git-format-patch / git-send-email. (Maybe that makes sense. The source code is huge; plus, according to Jonathan's repo, it's just one large commit, <https://github.com/jnthsmth/edk2/commit/c0882f6bd53afd59b1d18a15bbf5a92224abfb7f>.) Anyway, where should the utility live in the edk2 tree? The patch at the moment introduces a new top-level package, AcpicaPkg. That leaves it without a maintainer who could review it (or at least approve the addition). Also, for a new top level package, License.txt / Contributions.txt would be necessary. But, I think it would be best to add this toolset under MdeModulePkg/Application/. MdeModulePkg is where AcpiTableDxe lives (implementing EFI_ACPI_TABLE_PROTOCOL, and conditionally EFI_ACPI_SDT_PROTOCOL too). Code (example code or otherwise) for installing actual tables can also be found there (AcpiPlatformDxe, BootGraphicsResourceTableDxe, IScsiDxe, etc).
