Sorry. Following is an excerpt from the original patch:

This patch was inspired by the kernel projects page, where an ncurses
replacement for menuconfig was mentioned (by Sam Ravnborg).

Building on menuconfig, this patch implements a more modern look interface using
ncurses and ncurses' satellite libraries (menu, panel, form). The implementation
does not depend on lxdialog, which is currently distributed with the kernel.
