Sure.

These are the conversion tools I used in my series:

http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/374412/
   for generating *_defconfig and Kconfig

http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/374406/
   for generating MAINTAINERS


I assume you have boards.cfg on your local branch.

If you run 'tools/genkconfig' and 'tools/gen_maintainers.py',
*_defconfig, Kconfig, and MAINTAINERS will be generated
for all the boards listed in the boards.cfg file.

And then commit --amend the diffs of *_defconfig, Kconfig, MAINTAINERS.

Yes. Sounds good!
Thanks!

In you are in trouble, please feel free to ask questions.
I am happy to help you.
