OT / but related to sphinx extension: python files should not named "foo-bar" [1].
I you do so, you can't use them as regular modules ...

>>> import foo-bar
 File "<console>", line 1
   import foo-bar
             ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Hope there comes the time, we rename Documentation/sphinx/kernel-doc.py
and make a py-package from the sphinx folder.
