So, the manpages are actually generated from the header comments using
the python script at scripts/document.py

I think most of these are just a matter of adding a concise description
to the "function name" portion, which I've added to the header files.

Is there a name for the lint checker, is it something I can run myself
without creating a debian package? I have an ubuntu box which should
have it available.
