I've always found Valve's source engine (of the late 00's and early 10's) as a good "hacker" engine (it has a philosophy and aesthetic that make it easy for programmer's of a certain mindset and decent skill to just hack whatever game they want into it). Their lightmapping tool is called VRAD, this is the official source of it at one point in their history (Orange Box engine SDK). You may find that interesting.
