Nico, I understand your point, but that looks to me like a far larger effort. I'd like to get some evaluation if this is taking us at least the right direction (from a user point of view) before we start making too many far-reaching changes.

I don't think what I suggested is far-reaching. It's rather overdue
maintenance, that will be pushed even further into the future if we
keep accepting "evaluation" changes.

as for hidden vs. mandatory: I can find no use of the hidden keyword in any Kconfig; am I missing something? If it is in fact never used, should it be in the parser at all?

You should ask its author, it wasn't merged too long ago, IIRC. Still
my question remains, what is wrong with `.on_mainboard`?
