For the concrete code I'd use strlcpy, for some other uses of strcpy in
scripts/kconfig/ I'd probably choose differently.

As Franko already wrote: it would be nice if you could also send patches
for the other strcpy calls below scripts/kconfig/.

But please always compile and test your changes.

Thanks and kind regards
