No, at least not in the sense of an external project. Producing TAP in 
the client is an autotest specific implementation. It is the TAPReport() 
object defined in:

https://github.com/autotest/autotest/blob/master/client/shared/base_job.py#L682

Currently, autotest only outputs TAP, there's no parser available.

Cleber from my time was evaluating writing one, but we didn't go forward 
with it.

Matěj Cepl, also a Red Hat employee, implemented one parser at some 
point, but I think he felt discouraged because people did not give 
feedback to him (he did ask, though). I for one am also guilty of not 
following up with his work. He used to have it on his github account, 
but I can't seem to find it.

I wish we had a better answer to give you, but unfortunately we don't.
