The problem with that is that there are no kconfig maintainers:
KCONFIG ... S: Odd Fixes
The kconfig code is still a hard to maintain, scarcely documented mess. It took us almost a decade to rescue the NTP code from a similar obfuscation trap and make it maintainable. It had the same author as the original Kconfig code - and the Kconfig code is 10 times larger than the NTP code.
