Shameless plug: I didn't know about their SonarQube project until I'd built debt ceiling, but while ruby only at the moment, it is an open source attempt to provide some mechanics for defining and tracking some quantified approximation of technical debt. No claims it's perfect of course, but would love more real world feedback and/or feature requests! Also would like to extend it to handle JavaScript analysis as well, ideally through a plug-in architecture that could easily handle arbitrary other languages as well. https://github.com/bglusman/debt_ceiling
