One thing which I feel should be mentioned is the hard work put in by hundreds of kernel maintainers who have written kernel-doc and nobody has done the trivial work to actually include those source files in an rst file, so all that documentation is being ignored. A great task that's a step up from "fixing typos" is "find documentation that's not currently in a kernel book and add it". Even if it's just dumped into a "misc" section, having (eg) kvmalloc() documentation in a kernel book is a benefit.
Yeah, I'd thought about putting that in, then kind of forgot about it. I'll add a paragraph.
Do you want to preemptively mention the Oxford comma here?
It's true, there is only One True Way Of Comma Placement, so we want to be sure people get it right...:) Thanks, jon
