I have a pet project to incorporate C documentation comments written in
reStructuredText to Sphinx based documentation [1]. For Notmuch needs,
it replaces Doxygen with something that directly integrates with Sphinx
through an extension.

I've split the series to configure/build changes, functional code
changes in notmuch.h, and comment changes in notmuch.h.

With this, the 'make sphinx-html' build includes the API, with
cross-references working across the man pages, etc. We didn't have this
before.

The main downside is that Hawkmoth is not available via distro
packaging, only PyPI.


BR,
Jani.
