Tl;dr, the tool is called Metadata Editor and released under MIT. As the name suggests, it helps manage metadata for data. Currently supported standard includes:

IPTC

ISO 19139

Dublin Core

DDI-CodeBook v2.5

I don't mean to be rude but this is like the most generic description possible. What kind of data? What kind of metadata? "Manage" it how?

For the kind of supported data, one looks at the README and it supports a lot of different kinds of metadata, hence the generic description. A jpeg (or other image) metadata editor cannot edit metadata for geospatial surveys for example. But this application can. And manage it like any other CRUD application works. By providing users a way to enter a new entry, edit it, remove it, query it, all kinds of things really.
