Did we ever hear back from Yann MORIN about the current status of
Kconfig-frontends?

Hello Nathan :-)

Negative, no response from Yann.

But I am in contact with philou@debian.org that manager Linux/Debian
packages + local source code fork. We may use that Linux repo as
current upstream.. or create some sort of official repo under NuttX
brand?

Also Espressif team is kind and responsive regarding their fork but it
seems to have diverged and it would need some extra work to be merged
back into the upstream.. it also uses cmake to build only a part of
the code that is actively developed and used by ESP IDF.

FreeBSD port uses NuttX repository source package of kconfig-frontends.

The floor is yours to decide :-)

Best regards :-)
Tomek

ps/2: genromfs is also in the FreeBSD ports already :-)
