I don't think there are any official projects.
Some people have "in-house" management systems, but are weary 
about making them public. If you are willing to modify and 
maintain the front end code without endless queries to the 
progenitors of some code, you might want to ask if anyone 
has something to help you get started.

I have been working on some PHP functions to manage 
FreeRadius, but have not developed anything for the 
users file yet. So far I have developed functions 
that can acquire the information from the configuration
or dictionary files. But I am taking some time to consider
how to handle the huge amount of data from the dictionary
files.

Since the users file can handle multiple alternate 
configurations for DEFAULT and or user entries, it will 
require careful planning. In order to make sure the entries 
are stored in a unique way, and ensure that the correct entry 
can be identified, and make sure that entries do not get 
combined. For my needs, most users will have little more 
than an encrypted password, and we intend on using an SQL
backend, and do not use the users file at all, so accessing 
the data in the users file is near the bottom of my list, but 
others may have it as a different priority.
