It would certainly fit nicely with the existing metadata. We already rip out
code comments via kernel-doc, and extending it to rip out

- Help text
- Web site
- Version information
- Man page for the driver
- Module options

etc, shouldn't be too challenging. Ok so kernel-doc is in perl and ugly perl
but if someone hates it enough to rewrite it in python thats a win too 8)
