The bug is in make_hot(). Here is the fix:

Subject: [PATCH] nconfig: remember where to start searcing hot key

make_hot() skips '[...]', '<...>' and '(...)', but forgets to remember
where it starts to find the hot key, and then it makes all the letters
before the hot key lower case.

As a result, it shows:

    (-avar-akbar) Local version - append to kernel release
...
<m> Kernel .config support

When it should be:

    (-Avar-Akbar) Local version - append to kernel release
...
<M> Kernel .config support
