Returning to KCONFIG :-)

I have talked to Debian kconfig-frontends maintainer Philippe Thierry:

https://packages.debian.org/stable/kconfig-frontends

He confirmed that kconfig-frontends is abandoned. They use own git
repository with version 4.11.0.1 as current:

https://salsa.debian.org/philou/kconfig-frontends

Debian patches necessary to build are here (some additional patches
are necessary to GTK/GDK):

https://salsa.debian.org/philou/kconfig-frontends/-/tree/debian/master/debian/patches


Espressif repository seems to use older version 4.6:

https://github.com/espressif/kconfig-frontends

They modified code so it builds with CMake, but only produces
kconfig-mconf. I made it work on FreeBSD with cmake part:

https://github.com/cederom/kconfig-frontends/commit/c87bd73b50f8f6327672e4fb5f0a2000becfe9c2


kconfig-frontends clearly needs a new upstream and maintainer, also
some work to catch up with new frontend libraries. Who could be
willing to take that burden? Espressif? Debian? NuttX?

On the other hand we have Python's kconfiglib that is well maintained
and verified on various platforms and applications (i.e. Zephyr).
