pyqt5-tools now supports Windows and Linux anyways.  I haven't figured 
out the Qt application dynamic library dependence detection on macOS 
yet, in case anyone wanted to help out with that.  Phil, if you were 
interested in providing something like this officially, I'm all for it.  
The only thing I bring beyond the packaging is the exception dialog for 
Designer which would be nice to integrate in PyQt proper in some form.  
Well, I guess also a few command line arguments to help out with adding 
your code paths etc when launching the tools.
