A "config HAVE_<foo>" option normally doesn't have a "help" section
since it isn't meant to be user selected.  You can see that in the other
two options that exist right here in the context of your patch.
I will argue that having "help" messages for even configs that do not
get selected are useful. It helps reviewers of the code to know why one
of these events should be enabled or not.

Also your Cc list here seems rather large; not sure how you came up with
such a large list...
