Actually, there are a few that has, including the doc-guide

$ git grep \\.rst $(find Documentation/ -name index.rst)|cut -d: -f1|sort|uniq
Documentation/admin-guide/mm/index.rst
Documentation/doc-guide/index.rst
Documentation/filesystems/ext4/index.rst
Documentation/filesystems/index.rst
Documentation/hwmon/index.rst
Documentation/translations/it_IT/doc-guide/index.rst
Documentation/translations/it_IT/kernel-hacking/index.rst
Documentation/translations/it_IT/process/index.rst
Documentation/translations/zh_CN/process/index.rst

(I'm looking at linux-next).

Clearly, the Documentation/doc-guide/index.rst has it:

=================================
How to write kernel documentation
=================================

.. toctree::
   :maxdepth: 1

   sphinx.rst
   kernel-doc.rst
   parse-headers.rst

Anyway I'll send a patch removing the extra .rst from hwmon, to
be applied after this one, and another one for the doc-guide.
