The best JavaScript code I know of for this is the version that I ported
out of the Launchpad code base recently and used in
https://github.com/canonical-ols/build.snapcraft.io; but we haven't yet
got round to making it a standalone npm library, and it probably has
rough edges that we didn't run into in build.snapcraft.io.

This is https://bugs.launchpad.net/launchpad/+bug/434244.  It looks
quite straightforward to implement, so I'll have a go.

Until the bug above is fixed, you have to start from a specific bug
target or from a person known to be related to all the bugs in some way.
