FWIW, I'm not a fulltime developer by any means, but on occasion
I have fixed a few bugs in the netfilter area of the kernel.
And in almost all cases, I used kgdb in my debugging and testing
of fixes.  

In doing so, it was a bit of a PITA to find/patch kgdb into the
kernel, and having it as a configurable option would have saved
me some time and effort and made the process much smoother.

So perhaps someone else out there would find it similarly useful,
and the extra time it takes to find/patch/compile kgdb in is
precluding them from participating?  Why would we ever want to do
that?
