Not that I know of. You might want to submit entries to matching MAINTAINERS
people if there are any first. The file itself has Axel Boldt as its
primary maintainer. Most of the recent work on it for 2.0.x has been from
other folk (Stepan Kasal especially)

It is (where [ ] is just for clarity)
[Text of Config.in prompt]
[CONFIG_WHATEVER]
[2 spaces]text
[2 spaces]text
[2 spaces]text
[blank line]
for each entry. And 77 column width maximum (I think thats the right magic
number). That allows menuconfig room for borders

Run time
> 4) Alan, is it worth doing anything for the 2.0.x kernel at this point?
If there are any and someone does the work I will take them without
hesitation. Missing help is a bug in my book.

I think thats it.
