Yes

the main script to migrate a given project to DEP-14 is
https://salsa.debian.org/ruby-team/meta/-/blob/master/dep14-migrate?ref_type=heads

there's another script to add a branch rule to protect *master*:
https://salsa.debian.org/ruby-team/meta/-/blob/master/dep14-protect-branches?ref_type=heads

As the source for packages to process, I use UDD's Salsa dashboard:
https://udd.debian.org/salsa/
There's a JSON export so it's easy to process it and identify candidate
packages based on their default branch, other branches, debian/gbp.conf,
etc.

Other than the issue with Salsa CI load, everything went smoothly when
migrating around 1200 packages.

The mailing list discussion, for context:
https://lists.debian.org/debian-ruby/2025/08/msg00019.html

Both scripts should be largely applicable to other teams, and I can help
if needed.
