Seems I goofed and should have Cc'd Christian Marangi when sending this.

The script seems to work fine.  One remaining issue is whether any
adjustment to the commit messages on the generated commits is desired.
I'm unsure they need "Signed-off-by" since they're tool-generated.  I
also wonder whether the script should claim to be the author.

The one difference is this does all kernel configs in one pass.  This
seems superior as it makes rebasing proposed patches *much* simpler.
Specifically there is far less update work without continuously appearing
and disappearing configs.  This also means only a single commit per year
which troubles bisecting.
