I wrote one a while back in Python. It didn't have the wishlist stuff, though a guy could add that too. I just gave it a list of names and email addresses, and a list of people to not match together (like spouses, for our situation), and the script assigned each person and emailed everyone to let them know who they got.
It also generated a file with the pairings, so if someone deleted their email I could resend it.
It's been so long now, I don't know where my script went, but honestly I bet ChatGPT could figure something like this out.
